Name:
Named for the group type locality, Walitarama, Mariupol, Ukraine.
This mineral was originally named aluminotaramite. Due to the redefinition of the taramite group in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature, the valid name for this material is ferro-taramite.
This mineral was originally named aluminotaramite. Due to the redefinition of the taramite group in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature, the valid name for this material is ferro-taramite.
Type Locality:
The taramite root name group is in the 2012 nomenclature defined with C(Al+Fe3++2Ti) > 1.5 apfu, whereas the pre-2012 definition was used the T position, i.e 5.5 < Si < 6.5 apfu. This redefinition does not change the formula, but some amphiboles qualifying as ferro-taramite pre-2012 may now be katophorite or ferri-katophorite.

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.

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.
