Ferro-fluoro-katophorite

This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
Na(CaNa)(Fe2+4Al)(AlSi7O22)F2
The katophorite group minerals are sodium-calcium amphiboles defined with A(Na+K+2Ca)> 0.5 apfu and 0.5 apfu < C(Al+Fe3++2Ti) < 1.5 apfu.

Ferro-fluoro-katophorite is defined with

A position: Na dominant
C2+ position: Fe dominant
C3+ position: Al dominant
W position: F dominant
Hypothetical clino-amphibole in the Katophorite Root Name Group. It has not been found in nature.
