Formula:

Na₃Ca₄Si₈₅Al₁₁O₁₉₂ · 60H₂O

Colour:

Colorless to milky white

Lustre:

Vitreous, Silky

Specific Gravity:

2.13

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

Member of:

Zeolite Group

Name:

Named after Mutina, the ancient Latin name of Modena, Italy, a center of zeolite research.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Mount Adamson, Victoria Land, East Antarctica, Antarctica

The natural counterpart of zeolite ZSM-5 (ZSM-5 - Zeolite Socony Mobil–5).

The ZSM-5 molecular sieve boasts unique and exceptional properties, which are widely employed in important processes and applications across a broad range of industries. Commonly used in converting methanol to gasoline and diesel as well as oil refining, ZSM-5 has proved superior to amorphous solid acid catalysts in reactions such as xylene isomerization, toluene disproportionation and toluene alkylation etc. Upon ion exchange or modification, H-ZSM-5 zeolites can be derived to also possess enhanced para-selectivity. All in all, the high versatility of this zeolite makes it a truly indispensable material across many industries.

Optical Data of MutinaiteHide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.485(2) n_β = 1.487(2) n_γ = 1.488(2)

2V:

Measured: 70° , Calculated: 70°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.003
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.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Moderate (negative)
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.

Focus:

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.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

none

Comments:

2V could not be measured
