This is a comparison of SW UV fluorescence and visible light images. The UV image was made using a small SW UV LED “flashlight”. The response of the polylithionite in this case is almost pure bright yellow. There is no hint of the greenish tinge often seen for polylthionite. Hand-held, with the UV source about 5 cm from the specimen, the “glow” is easily visible from across a room, even in partial daylight. But the polylithionite from this find occurs as small isolated groups, so these are not “display” specimens. The magenta glow in the background is microcline. The paler, more pinkish, stuff in the foreground is albite. The specimen also has catapleiite and “pyrochlore”, but they are not visiblet in these photos.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>","Modris Baum",5184,6912,{"id":898,"source_url":899,"license_code":881,"credit_html":900,"title":901,"description":902,"author":903,"original_width":904,"original_height":905},6381,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=124681541","Robert Walstrom, via \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=124681541\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikimedia Commons\u003C\u002Fa>","Cotunnite, Xilingolite, Albite, Grossular-951378.jpg","\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fen.wikipedia.org\u002Fwiki\u002FCotunnite\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"en:Cotunnite\">Cotunnite\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fen.wikipedia.org\u002Fwiki\u002FXilingolite\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"en:Xilingolite\">Xilingolite\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fen.wikipedia.org\u002Fwiki\u002FAlbite\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"en:Albite\">Albite\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fen.wikipedia.org\u002Fwiki\u002FGrossular\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"en:Grossular\">Grossular\u003C\u002Fa>\n\u003Cdl>\u003Cdd>\u003Cdl>\u003Cdd>Field of view: 17 mm\u003C\u002Fdd>\n\u003Cdd>Locality: Ogre-Bogle group of claims (Tedford's group), Victorio District (Gage District), Victorio Mountains, Luna County, New Mexico, USA\u003C\u002Fdd>\n\u003Cdd>Description: Micro colorless cotunnite crystals on black xilingolite crystals and associated with white albite and pale brown grossular.

The small tan needles on aegirine which can be seen in the gap between the two main albite crystals are lorenzenite, some apparently epitactic. (The lorenzenite has been verified via EDS. See \u003Ca rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external autonumber\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mindat.org\u002Fphoto-842285.html\">[1]\u003C\u002Fa> for a better example and an EDS scan.) The pyrochlore is clearly “fuzzy” because it is encrusted by more pyrochlore of similar compositio. There are a very few \"naked\" crystals (not on this specimen) that also appear to be yellowish. However, some of the crust can be removed with HCl, suggesting that it is cemented by calcite.\u003Cbr>Update April 2017: Quick and dirty EDS of uncoated samples on matrix seemed to show very high Ta for both the \"crust\" and the \"naked\" crystals (after removal of crust). For the \"naked\" crystals, peak heights for Ta > Nb were oberved, which would suggest \"microlite group\". However, consultation with a mineralogist very familiar with \"pyrochlore\" at MSH, strongly suggests that the \"Ta\" peaks are really \"Si\", and that this is just \"pyrochlore\" with lots of Si. According to the expert, high levels of Si have been found repeatedly in MSH pyrochlores. It is not know if this is because the pyrochlore is metamict or because Si has actually been incorporated into the pyrochlore structure (as has been suggested by some.)\u003Cbr>See the Analysis \"photos\" Feb 2018: The two \"pyrochlore\" species now confirmed at MSH are fluornatropyrochlore and fluorcalciopyrochlore, assuming that this too is a \"fluor-pyrochlore\" (EDS can't tell), it seems more likely that it is fluorcalciopyrochlore than fluornatropyrochlore. However, Na is detected with difficulty and its seeming near absence in the scans could be misleading. Nonetheless, I have tentatively changed the caption from \"pyrochlore group\" to \"fluorcalciopyrochlore\".

The albite is on the left, containing small slivers of biotite and a tiny patch of pale yellow cancrinite. The nepheline is on the right and is one large, well formed crystal. The horizontal green laths in the nepheline are extremely thin crystals of biotite which grew within the fabric of the nepheline as it crystallized. This is from a highly porphrytic phase of the syenite, wherein the nepheline crystals grew first (and quite large) and were later surrounded by a 'slush' of albite as the ground mass. Nepheline is ridiculously hard to photograph well in the Litchfield syenite because it is usually not well formed; most often it's just a roughly rectangular 'blob' of greenish greyish stuff that weathers out before everything else. Oh ... and don't ever put nepheline or litchfieldite anywhere near oxalic acid. It dissolves. If you feel you have to clean a very soil-stained specimen, use bleach mixed 1:20 with water.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>","Douglas Watts",1131,931,{"id":1123,"source_url":1124,"license_code":592,"credit_html":1125,"title":1126,"description":1127,"author":958,"original_width":989,"original_height":1128},38601,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=112262775","Géry PARENT, via \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=112262775\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikimedia Commons\u003C\u002Fa>","Rhodochrosite, catapleiite, albite, aegirine.jpg","Rhodochrosite, catapleiite, albite, aegirine : Poudrette Quarry (De-Mix Quarry ; Demix Quarry ; Uni-Mix Quarry ; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire ; MSH), Mont Saint-Hilaire, La Vallée-du-Richelieu RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada",1481,{"id":1130,"source_url":1131,"license_code":544,"credit_html":1132,"title":1133,"description":1134,"author":586,"original_width":1135,"original_height":686},39654,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10447618","Robert M.

This one features a 2 x 2 x 1 cm crystal perched on a knob of albite, with a small schorl hanging off one side for accent from that view; and the beautiful white of teh albite ball presenting on the other side. There is a smaller, secondary crystal nebeath the major crystal atop, but it is broken at its base anyhow and serves mainly as color accent, not the visual focus.

This is a specimen from the find at Jenipapo and features several sharp, lustrous, orange colored, pseudo-cubic (trigonal) crystals on white, translucent bladed Albite crystals.

It is an incredible showpiece GLOWING with juicy pink color: NOT the typical pale peachy or pink-orange morganite, but rather a rich, electric, sparkling PURE PINK hue like you almost never actually see. The glasssiness and transparency of the crysatl are phenomenal and you can literally look right into it. PICTURES DO NOT CONVEY the quality of the piece, though they are good shots and accurate nonethless\u002F Because of the size and shocking value of the color, it simply has to be seen in person. Within the morganite is a core of aquamarine, which you can clearly see through the overlaying pink. Also included inside are , at the edge of the aqua core, 3 sharp little purple lepidolite crystals! I have NEVER seen lepidolite so nicely included within a morganite as this. There is a small , shallow conchoidal dip in the top leading edge, but its not all that obvious visually. Of the 6 sides of the perfect hexagon, 4 are present and the lower two partially contacted, but again this does not detract visually. Certainly given the size and isplay impact a few small imperfections can be overlooked, especially at the price range since it is not priced to the moon.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",539,{"id":1401,"source_url":1402,"license_code":544,"credit_html":1403,"title":1404,"description":1405,"author":958,"original_width":959,"original_height":960},70309,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=18031556","Géry PARENT, via \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=18031556\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikimedia Commons\u003C\u002Fa>","Rhodochrosite, aegirine, albite.jpg","rhodocrosite, aegirine, albite : Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada",{"id":1407,"source_url":1408,"license_code":544,"credit_html":1409,"title":1410,"description":981,"author":586,"original_width":615,"original_height":1020},72192,"https:\u002F\u002Fcommons.wikimedia.org\u002F?curid=10457659","Robert M.

name **albite** comes from the Latin *albus* — white — a nod to the pale, milky colour the crystals usually wear[1].\n\nThe mineral was first described in 1815 by the Swedish chemists Johan Gottlieb Gahn and Jöns Jacob Berzelius[2]. The first reported occurrence was at Finnbo, in Falun, Dalarna, Sweden[3]. Berzelius and Gahn named it after the colour of the specimens in front of them.\n\nThe naming arrived at a useful moment. Mineralogists across Europe were sorting out the feldspar family — a group of light-coloured rock-forming silicates. Albite turned out to sit at the sodium end of a continuous chemical bridge known as the **plagioclase series**[4]. The other end of the bridge is anorthite, the calcium-rich counterpart.\n\nTwo varieties of albite carry distinct names. **Cleavelandite** is the form that grows in granite and pegmatite[5]. An iridescent variety, found in 1925 near the White Sea coast in northern Russia, has circulated in the trade as *belomorite*[6].","claude-opus-4-7","1.7.0",{"markdown":1783,"model_version":1780,"prompt_version":1781,"reviewed_at":11},"Most of the albite mined today ends up dissolved into glass or fired into ceramic.\n\nIndustry rarely separates albite from the other feldspars at the quarry. The family is reported together as a single commodity called *feldspar*, alongside the closely related rock nepheline syenite. The uses described below therefore apply to commercial feldspar as a whole. They apply to albite to the extent that it is part of any given shipment.\n\nIn glass manufacturing, feldspar contributes the sodium and aluminium the melt needs[1]. The sodium acts as a **flux** — a material that lowers the temperature at which the other ingredients melt. The aluminium then stiffens the finished glass and helps it resist scratches and chemical attack. In the United States, glass manufacturing took an estimated 60 % of feldspar and nepheline use in 2023[2].\n\nThe remaining 40 % went into **ceramics** — ceramic tile, pottery, and other uses[3]. Inside a ceramic body, feldspar acts as a flux in the same way. It melts during firing and binds the harder particles into a hard, glass-like matrix.\n\nCleavelandite, the variety of albite that grows in granite and pegmatite, is occasionally collected for display. No industrial role is recorded specifically for it.\n\nUnited States feldspar production in 2023 had an estimated value of 60 million United States dollars and came from six companies operating in California, Idaho, North Carolina, and Virginia[4]. Identified and undiscovered resources are described as more than adequate to meet anticipated world demand[5]."]
