About LavendulanHide

This section is currently hidden. Click the show button to view.
Formula:
NaCaCu5(AsO4)4Cl · 5H2O
Colour:
Turquoise-blue, greenish blue, pale blue
Lustre:
Vitreous, Waxy
Hardness:
Specific Gravity:
3.54
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named after the lavender colour of the "type" specimen, which has been determined to be a mixture with no relationship to modern lavendulan (Ondruš et al., 2006). Lavendulan does not exhibit a lavender colour.
Isostructural with:
Lavendulan Group.

The Ca analogue of zdenĕkite and the arsenate analogue of sampleite.

Compare also the chemically and visually similar mahnertite and lemanskiite.
May appear visually similar to slavkovite.

Data regarding this species have been significantly defined in recent years [see Ondruš et al. (2006) and the crystal structure determination by Giester et al. (2007)], including a re-examination of Breithaupt's type specimen. That effort disclosed that the "type specimen" of lavendulan was a mixture unrelated to present-day lavendulan. The second locality from which "lavendulan" was found is Jachymov (Joachimsthal), Czech Republic; therefore, the type locality of the species was changed to the latter locality, pending any formal declarations to the contrary.

Note that Ondruš et al. (2006) reported that lavendulan from Lavrion, Greece, once powdered transformed to lemanskiite in a few days.

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.66 nβ = 1.715 nγ = 1.734
2V:
Measured: 33° , Calculated: 58°
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.074
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:
weak
Pleochroism:
Visible
Comments:
O= pale blue to pale greenish blue
E= blue to greenish blue
