Roscherite R070308 - RRUFF Database: Raman, X-ray, Infrared, and Chemistry

Roscherite R070308

Name: Roscherite
RRUFF ID: R070308
Ideal Chemistry: Ca₂Mn²⁺₅Be₄(PO₄)₆(OH)₄·6H₂O
Locality: Black Mountain Quarry, Rumford, Oxford County, Maine, USA
Source: James Shigley [view label]
Owner: RRUFF
Description: Reddish brown prismatic crystals associated with white albite. The color is a thin coating of something. Based on cell parameters, we cannot exclude greifensteinite as the identification, without chemical analysis.
Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed only by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Mineral Group: [ roscherite (9) ]

Quick search: [ All Roscherite samples (2) ]
