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 µm 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:

Fluorescence of DanburiteHide

This section is currently hidden. Click the show button to view.
Charcas, Mexico crystals commonly fluoresce blue under SW or LW toward the clear terminations. Lower opaque portions may fluoresce yellow, green or both. Similar response from some Ural Mountains crystals. Weak white under SW or LW from Cristalmayu, Bolivia. Material from the type locality fluoresces moderately bright pale yellow to cream under SW, MW and LW.

Other InformationHide

This section is currently hidden. Click the show button to view.
Thermal Behaviour:
Heated alone, before the blowpipe, it phosphoresces and fuses slowly, without swelling, into a white blebby, transparent glass (fusability scale 3.5), coloring the flame green due to boron. On cooling the glass becomes milky-white. With borax, it melts with effervescence into a transparent globule.

In a closed tube, it gives off some moisture, and phosphoresces brilliantly with a reddish yellow light.
Notes:
Slightly soluble in HCl, sufficiently so to give the reaction for boric acid with turmeric paper. Powdered danburite is slowly soluble.
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
