Bernard Elgey Leake
Formula:
NaNa2(Fe2+2Al2Li)(Si8O22)F2
The Leakeite group minerals are sodium amphiboles defined with:
A(Na+K+2Ca)> 0.5 apfu,
C(Al+Fe3++2Ti) > 1.5 apfu and
CLi > 0,5 apfu
Ferro-fluoro-leakeite is defined with
A position: Na dominant
C2+ position: Fe dominant
C3+ position: Al dominant
W position: F dominant
A(Na+K+2Ca)> 0.5 apfu,
C(Al+Fe3++2Ti) > 1.5 apfu and
CLi > 0,5 apfu
Ferro-fluoro-leakeite is defined with
A position: Na dominant
C2+ position: Fe dominant
C3+ position: Al dominant
W position: F dominant
Name:
Ferro-fluoro-leakeite was first published as a new mineral by Hawthorne et.al (1996). The Leakeite group minerals was redefined in the 2012 amphibole nomenclature and the mineral described by Hawthorne et.al (1996) is now named ferro-ferri-fluoro-leakeite. The series root name was named in 1992 by Frank Christopher Hawthorne, Roberta Oberti, Luciano Ungaretti, and Joel Dennison Grice in honor of Scottish geologist Bernard Elgey Leake [1932-], University of Glasgow and who was chairman of the IMA subcommitte to revise amphibole nomenclature. The chemical suffix designates the chemical relationship in the series.
