Name: Hurlbutite RRUFF ID: R070612 Ideal Chemistry: CaBe2(PO4)2 Locality: Viitaniemi, Erajarvi, Orivesi, Etela-Suomen Laani, Finland Source: James Shigley [view label] Owner: RRUFF Description: Light brown, massive, associated with beryllonite, hydroxylherderite, and apatite. The hurlbutite is very fine-grained holding the other coarser mineral fragments in place. Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. |
