Odinite (original) (raw)
A valid IMA mineral species
Formula:
(Fe,Mg,Al,Fe,Ti,Mn)2.4((Si,Al)2O5)(OH)4
Colour:
Silky green to dark green
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
For French clay mineralogist Gilles Serge Odin (May 31, 1942 in Arcis sur Aube, France - ?), University P. and M. Curie, Paris, France. He did the initial work on this mineral.
Note: odinite can also refer to a basaltic dyke rock with primarily anorthite (labradorite) and some augite in a groundmass of fine grained hornblende and minor quartz.
