Aeschynite from
Kawadgaon-Challanpara pegmatite field, Dantewada District, Chhattisgarh, India
| Locality type: | Pegmatite Field | |
| Classification | ||
|---|---|---|
| Species: | 'Aeschynite' (not an IMA approved species) | |
| Comments: | Aeschynite occur in thin pockets in association with greisenised zones. In polished sections it is optically isotropic because of its metamict nature. At normal temperatures, aeschynite do not show its characteristic XRD pattern; however, on heating at about 900 - 1000 degrees aeschynite show its characteristic XRD pattern. | |
