About Pilanesbergite
Formula:
Na2Ca2Fe2Ti2(Si2O7)2O2F2
Colour:
brown-orange
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.47
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Member of:
Name:
Named after the alkaline complex.
Type Locality:
Isostructural with:
The Ti analogue of madeiraite.
Unique combination of elements among the approved species (at the upload time); compare UM2004-51-SiO:CaClFFeHNaNbTi.
Relation to the isomorphic species (that are also chemically related): Mn2+ ↔ Fe2+ & Zr4+ ↔ Ti4+.
Genesis:
*relatively reducing conditions
*formed from an agpaitic nepheline syenite magma, evolved via fractional crystallization of (mainly) aegirine.
A further change of mineral composition from pilanesbergite towards normandite was due to crystallization of arfvedsonite that resulted ain an increase in f(O2) and thus Mn enrichment of the magma.

Optical Data of Pilanesbergite
Type:
Biaxial (+)
RI values:
nα = 1.743(3) nβ = 1.768(3) nγ = 1.795(5)
2V:
Measured: ~90° , Calculated: 88°

δ = 0.052
Based on recorded range of RI values above.
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. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Surface Relief:

Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).
This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised
light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive
index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral
colouration.
In focus
Interference Figure:
This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure
- the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using
this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points
where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the
field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are
isogyres.
Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.
