Addibischoffite (original) (raw)
A valid IMA mineral species
Specific Gravity:
3.41 (Calculated)
Name:
Name in honor of Addi Bischoff (b. 4 April 1955, Werdohl, Germany), cosmochemist at University of Münster, Germany, for his many contributions to research on mineralogy of carbonaceous chondrites, including CAIs in CH chondrites.
The Al analogue of beckettite and warkite.
Chemically similar to brownmillerite, dmitryivanovite, grossite, hibonite, and krotite.
A new refractory phase formed in the solar nebula, most likely as a result of crystallization from an 16O-rich Ca, Al-rich melt under high-temperature (~1575 °C) and low-pressure (~10−4 to 10−5 bar) conditions in the CAI-forming region near the protosun, providing a new puzzle piece toward understanding the details of nebular processes (Ma et al. 2017).
