Locality type: Pegmatite Classification Species: Bazzite Formula: Be3 Sc2 (Si6 O18 ) Comments: Bazzite occurs as single xls, up to 3 cm, or as xline masses to 6-7 cm, mostly of deep blue to greenish blue colour. It occurs in massive quartz /feldspar or on the surface of yellow beryl, or masses associated with kristiansenite. Habit: Imperfect plates, hexagonal prismatic crystals; needles Colour: clear, skyblue, light blue Confirmation Validity: Believed Valid Associated Minerals Based on Photo Data: Beryl 2 Quartz 2 Data Mineral Data: Click here to view Bazzite data Locality Data: Click here to view Heftetjern pegmatite, Tørdal, Drangedal, Telemark, Norway Photo Gallery View Gallery (15 photos) Data Identifiers Mindat Occurrence Record ID: 86571 Long-form Identifier: 1:3:86571:7 GUID (UUID V4 ): 0 Nearest other occurrences of Bazzite
