Avogadrite R110062

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.

Mineral Group: [ Baryte (18) ]
