About SeranditeHide

Formula:
NaMn2+2Si3O8(OH)
Colour:
Pale pink, salmon-red, salmon-orange, deep orange, rose-red, brown, colourless
Lustre:
Vitreous, Sub-Vitreous, Greasy
Hardness:
5 - 5½
Specific Gravity:
3.34
Crystal System:
Triclinic
Name:
Named in 1931 by Antoine François Alfred Lacroix after J.M. Serand, lighthouse keeper of the Island of Roume, Los Islands, Guinea, who assisted in collecting the mineral and who, coincidentally, had a rosy pink complexion.

The name was modified in 2015 from sérandite to serandite by IMA approval 15-E.
Pectolite-Serandite Series. The manganese analogue of pectolite and the sodium analogue of tanohataite. Part of serandite-schizolite-pectolite series.

Note: Many of the lighter pink "serandites" are schizolite. They can't be sorted visually. None of the deep orange serandites are schizolite.

Optical Data of SeranditeHide

Type:
Biaxial (+)
RI values:
nα = 1.668 nβ = 1.671 nγ = 1.703
2V:
Measured: 39° , Calculated: 39°
Birefringence:
0.035
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.035
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 ”m thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
Dispersion:
r < v moderate
