	Axinite
		Axinite is optically biaxial and negative; 2V = 74° (measured), r < v (strong); the crystals from Franklin are generally plates parallel to the pyramid x(111) and the acute bisectrix emerges almost normal to that face.
		Axinite is of rather complex composition, but it may be briefly characterized as acid borosilicate of calcium, aluminum, and manganese with some iron and zinc.
		Besides that mineral and pyrite, there is on one specimen a clove-brown axinite in minute crystals, too poorly developed for measurement but apparently of the ordinary habit of the mineral.

	AXINITE - LoveToKnow Article on AXINITE
		It is found in the greenstorte and hornblende-schists of Batallack Head near St Just in Cornwall, and in diabase in the Harz; and small ones in Maine and in Northampton county, Pennsylvania, TJ.S.A. Large crystals have also been found in Japan.
		In its occurrence iii basic rather than in acid eruptive rocks, axinite differs from the boro-silicate tourmaline, which is usually found in granite.
		The hardness of 61/27, combined with the color and transparency, renders axinite applicable for use as a gemstone, the Dauphin crystals being occasionally cut for this purpose.

		Axinite is another rare and unusual gemstone that is not normally worn as jewelry but is a “must have” among collectors as no collection will be really complete without one.
		The name Axinite is from the Greek acine (meaning “axe”) for the axe-like shape of the original crystal formations.
		Axinite is composed of several different ions (Ca2 (Mn, Fe, Mg) Al2 (BO3OH)(SiO3) 4) and is actually a series name for a group of four related minerals.

	COMPOSITION OF COLOR-ZONED AXINITE FROM THE GARNET HILL SKARN, CALIFORNIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Axinite occurrence is restricted to small lenses surrounded by felty amphibole at the White Horse claim.
		In both types of axinite the Si-site and M-site are full and small vacancies (<0.10) occur in the A- and C-sites; traces of Ti, Cr, Zn, F, K, and Na were detected in both color zones.
		Evidently, axinite formed at somewhat lower temperatures by solutions that were less oxidizing and lower in Fe.

		Axinite is a brittle mineral which has occasionally furnished some pretty gem stones.
		Axinite occurs in clove-brown, plumblue, and pearl-gray, and exhibits trichroism.
		Axinite is usually cut, like the opal, cabochon, but is rarely used as a gem stone.

	Axinite
		The name axinite comes from the Greek word for axe because of the wedge shape of axinite crystals.
		Axinite commonly forms as a contact mineral near granitic intrusions or in granitic cavities.
		The structure of axinite is not a series of Si rings as previously believed, but BO tetrahedrea which bond Si groups.

		In order to study the equilibrium conditions of axinite, uvite (Ca-tourmaline) and other skarn minerals hydrothermal synthesis was performed in gold sealed capsules at T from 400° to 600°C, pressures from 40 to 70 Mpa using epidote+boric acid, epidote+boric acid+albite or anorthite or plagioclase mixtures of various composition.
		Experiments with only epidote or epidote+anorthite as primary minerals produced axinite at 400 and 500°C. The formation of Ca-tourmaline was related to Na/Ca ratio in the primary mixture.
		On the basis of the first results it seems that distribution of axinite and uvite in contact metamorphism is related to T and to the Na/Ca ratio and that axinite is the epidote-equivalent in metamorphic domain, when B amount is sufficient.
