Hillebrandite - RRUFF Database: Raman, X-ray, Infrared, and Chemistry

Hillebrandite R110067

Name: Hillebrandite
RRUFF ID: R110067
Ideal Chemistry: Ca₂SiO₃(OH)₂
Locality: Terneras mine, Velardeña, Velardeña District, Mun. de Cuencamé, Durango, Mexico
Source: Renato & Adriana Pagano [view label]
Owner: RRUFF
Description: White, fine-grained massive. Cell parameters are given that match Dai and Post (1995) but the diffraction results indicate lower symmetry.
Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
