Ferro-katophorite from
Kipawa alkaline complex, Les Lacs-du-Témiscamingue, Témiscamingue RCM, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Québec, Canada
| Locality type: | Complex | |
| Classification | ||
|---|---|---|
| Species: | Ferro-katophorite | |
| Formula: | Na(CaNa)(Fe42+Al)(AlSi7O22)(OH)2 | |
| Comments: | According to Olav Revheim 2016 The katophorite analysis presented in "CURRIE,K.L.& VAN BREEMEN, O. (1996). The origin of rare minerals in the Kipawa syenite complex, Western Quebec. Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 34, pp.435" are used as reference both for katophorite and ferro-katophorite from Kipawa, even though only one analysis is presented, mindat is therefore presenting two minerals from one analysis. The normalized composition provided by them gives a total A content >1.3, normally indicating that something is not right with the analysis, but if the high A content is ignored, the "katophorite" corresponds to a potassic-ferro-ferri-katophorite. I woould suggest that the katophorite is striked out and ferro-katophorite are deleted and potassic-ferro-ferri-katophorite is added with a question mark, based on Currie and Van Bremen's analysis. (Since 1996, there has been two amphibole nomenclature reports and katophorite has been redefined) | |
