About Ferro-ferri-hornblende
Formula:
◻Ca2(Fe2+4Fe3+)(AlSi7O22)(OH)2
Defined as a an amphibole in the magnesiohornblende group of the Calcium subgroup with Fe2+Mg and Fe3+Al in the C position and with (OH) as the dominant anion in the W position
Colour:
Dark greenish
Lustre:
Vitreous
Specific Gravity:
3.362
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Member of:
Name:
Named in 1789 by Abraham Gottlieb Werner from an old German term for dark minerals with no ore value and from "blende", meaning to deceive. The prefix ferro-ferri is in alignment with the guidelines in the latest amphibole nomenclature (Hawthorne et al. 2012)
The mineral was originally described by Luigi Colomba in 1914 as "speziaite", a name never approved by IMA, and discredited by Leake (1978) as a variety of hornblende. As the type material exhibit intergrowths of ferro-ferri-hornblende and hastingsite and magnesio-hastingsite, "speziaite" should not be considered a synonym of ferri-ferro-hornblende.
The type was defined by Oberti et al. (2016) from a rock specimen (catalogued as "speziaite"), from the historical collection of Leandro De Magistris, which was collected at the Traversella Mine (Val Chiusella, Torino, Piemonte, Italy).

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.

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.
