Name: Avogadrite RRUFF ID: R110062 Ideal Chemistry: KBF4 Locality: Mount Vesuvius, near Naples, Campania, Italy Source: James Shigley [view label] Owner: RRUFF Description: Colorless consolidated granular. Some of the material consists of transparent gemmy crystals. The unidentified associated yellow material is a thin coating, something like a bubble surface, that turns white under acetone. Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. |
