About FengchengiteHide

07416250017272472097149.jpg
Fengcheng City, China
Formula:
Na12◻3(Ca,Sr)6Fe3+3 Zr3Si(Si25O73)(H2O,OH)3(OH,Cl)2
Colour:
Rose to deep-rose
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5
Specific Gravity:
2.90
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Member of:
Eudialyte Group
Name:
Named after Fengcheng city, Liaoning Province, China. The type locality is approximately 60 km NNE of the city.
Chemically similar to eudialyte sensu stricto. Similar to mogovidite in terms of vacancy and ferric iron dominance. Other group members with essential Fe3+ are feklichevite and ikranite.

Optical Data of FengchengiteHide

Type:
Uniaxial (+)
RI values:
nω = 1.603 nε = 1.607
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.004
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

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.

Surface Relief:
Moderate (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

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 uniaxial interference figure - the conoscopic (convergent-light, Bertrand-lens-in) view, for a grain cut with the optic axis centred and vertical. The coloured rings are isochromatics, computed with the same physics as the Michel-Lévy bar above; the dark cross is the isogyre.

For a genuinely uniaxial mineral viewed this way, that cross stays perfectly stationary if you rotate the stage - unlike a biaxial mineral, where it splits apart on rotation. That invariance is itself the standard diagnostic test for telling uniaxial and biaxial minerals apart at the microscope.
Pleochroism:
Non-pleochroic
