About DrugmaniteHide

04399280017271922562530.jpg
Julien Drugman
Formula:
Pb2Fe3+(PO4)(PO3OH)(OH)2
The Fe(III) may be replaced by minor Al.
Colour:
Pale yellow
Lustre:
Adamantine
Hardness:
5 - 6
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named by René Van Tassel (1916-2013), André-Mathieu Fransolet (1947-) and K. Abraham in 1979 after Belgian mineralogist Julien Léon Eugène Drugman (28 May 1875, Brussels, Belgium - 1 July 1950, Brussels, Belgium). From 1910 he worked as a mineralogist at the Royal Belgian Museum of Natural History and had a special interest in twins. In 1932, together with Max H. Hey, he named legrandite. At his death in 1950, he bequeathed his extensive collection of over four thousand minerals and countless twin crystals to the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences on the condition that it would remain an independent whole and not be integrated into the general mineral collection.
