Topic: Hauyne


  
  Leucite - LoveToKnow 1911
The leucitophyres are rare rocks which have been described from various parts of the volcanic district of the Rhine (Olbriick, Laacher See, andc.) and from Monte Vulture in Italy.
Among the accessory minerals biotite, brown hornblende, hauyne, iron oxides and apatite are the commonest; melanite and nepheline may also occur.
Sanidine, melanite, hauyne and perofskite are frequent accessory minerals in these rocks, and many of them contain melilite in some quantity.

Hauyne (sometimes called Huaynite) is a rare gem who was named after Mr.
Hauyne has a beautiful color and is difficult to facet because of its perfect cleavage, making it a highly prized and expensive collector’s gem.
Hauyne is also believed by some to encourage peacefulness and self-acceptance.

Hauyne belongs to the Sodalite mineral group, which is composed of minerals with a similar isometric structure and related chemistry.
Hauyne is formed from Sodium Calcium Aluminum Silicate Sulfate [(Na, Ca) 48Al6Si6(O, S) 24(SO4, Cl) 1-2].
Huayne naturally occurs in igneous rocks low in silica and rich in alkalies such as volcanic rocks, which provide the chemical supply and the environment needed for the mineral to form.

 Elongated twins of sodalite and other isometric minerals Mineralogical Record - Find Articles
The sodalite family is composed of the minerals sodalite, nosean, hauyne and lazurite: cubic aluminosilicate species with the formula (Na,Ca)^sub 4^, Al^sub 6^Si^sub 6^O^sub 24^(SO^sub 4^,Cl,OH,S)^sub 1-2^*nH^sub 2^O. The members of The group are most frequently found in association with nepheline or leucite in nepheline syenites or phonolites and related undersaturated rocks.
The predominant crystal form for all four species is the dodecahedron, as illustrated by the nosean crystal on biotite in Figure 2 and the beautiful, blue hauyne crystal in Figure 3.
Modifying forms are the cube as on the hauyne shown in Figure 4 and the octahedron.

 ROCKS THAT PAUL WOULD HAVE LOVED: PETROLOGY OF HAUYNE PHONOLITES AND TRACHYTES FROM TAHITI
Minor Cl enrichment at nosean or haüyne rims, and discontinuous, apparently epitaxial, annular rims of end-member sodalite surrounding these crystals, indicate exhaustion of magmatic sulfate during feldspathoid phenocryst crystallization and a cessation of hauyne or nosean crystallization.
Sufficient Cl was present in the remaining ne-normative melt to allow the abrupt shift from hauyne to sodalite crystallization.
Abundance of sulfate in these rocks (in nosean and haüyne crystals), coupled with absence of any trace of sulfide minerals or any S in groundmass glass, indicates strong oxidation of magmatic sulfur and total depletion of sulfate in the melt during formation of feldspathoid phenocrysts.

 Leucite Information Center - leucite
The augite varies a good deal in character, being green, brown or violet, but aegirinc (the dark green pleochroic soda-iron-augite) is seldom present.
Sanidine, melanite, hauyne and perovskite are frequent accessory minerals in these rocks, and many of them contain melilite in some quantity, The well-known leucitite of the Capo di Bove, near, Rome, is rich in this mineral, which forms irregular plates, yellow in the hand specimen, enclosing many small rounded crystals of leucite.
Bracciano and Roccamonfina are other Italian localities for leucitite, and in Java, Montana, Celebes and New South Wales similar rocks occur, The leucite basalts belong to more basic types and are rich in olivine and augite.

Melt inclusions in hauyne, sphene, sanidine and clinopyroxene vary between 800 and 3500 µg/g, but show the same trend of SO2-enrichment in more mafic parts of the magma column.
Only melt inclusions in hauyne show a detectable enrichment of Br and Mo, while melt inclusions in sanidine and clinopyroxene are not enriched.
This suggests either a compositional gradient of Br and Mo towards the crystal/melt interface during growth of hauyne or a post-entrapment diffusion of Br and Mo between the melt inclusions and host hauynes (Qin et al., 1992).

 USGS Spectroscopy Lab - Clark et. al. 2003 Spectral Library splib05a
The intensities of the hauyne closely matched the non-wollastonite reflections; those of lazurite-C did not.
Subsequent manual overlay of the six wollastonite patterns in the PDF2 database onto the non-sodalite-group reflections in HS-418 indicates that the wollastonite is of 2M, not 1A, structure type.
These six peaks are explained by a primitive cubic lattice; the cell edge, 9.08 angstroms, excludes sodalite but leaves other members of the sadalite group, nosean, lazurite, and hauyne, or their solid solution, as a possibilities (see Deer, et al., 1962).

 July 1998: Selling Beautiful Gems with Ugly Names
Because of its relatively low cost and its extremely rich green color, this gem is faring well in spite of its appellation; it’s currently quite popular.
Hauyne was named after Abbé René Just Hauy (1743-1822), author of what could be considered the first modern scientific journal on gemology (1817).
Although he notes that he’s sold a lot of hauyne over the years, Frazier laments, “of course, I’m not driving a Bentley.” He might have been, if the stone had a more romantic name.

HABITS : the crystals have pseudo-octahedral and dodecaedric habits, but much often the hauyne is found massive, granular and in aggregates; not rare geminates
HISTORY : they were Brunn and Neergard in 1807 to make the declaration of this mineral (locality type the Somma Mount) dedicated to R. Haüy (a famous French cristallographous)
COMMENT : this species is recognizable for color and the matrix on which it is recovered, but objective can be confused (without to arrange of equipment from laboratory) with other minerals (main those of the sodalite group); most beatiful hauyne colors are tonalities of nice intense blue

DESCRIPTION: Most lapis lazuli comprises a crystalline aggregate made up largely of blue lazurite (a mineral of the sodalite group), plus noteworthy amounts of macroscopic white calcite and pyrite grains.
Some lapis lazuli contains one or more of the other minerals of the sodalite group -- hauyne, nosean, and sodalite per se -- along with or in lieu of the lazurite.
In addition, some lapis lazuli also contains minor amounts of phlogopite mica, diopside, amphibole, mica, etc., each of which may or may not be macroscopically discernible.

 Sodalite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Discovered in the early 1800’s in Greenland, Sodalite was named because of its high sodium content.
Sodalite is a member of the Sodalite group and together with Hauyne, Nosean and Lazurite is a component of Lapis Lazuli.
Sodalite, quite well known in the semi-precious gemstone trade, did not become important as a gemstone until 1891 when it was unearthed at a deposit near Bancroft, Ontario by Frank D. Adams while he was investigating the geology of the Haliburton-Hastings area for the Geological Survey of Canada.

 Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli is not, like most gemstones, a pure mineral, but rather a rock composed of varying proportions of the minerals: lazurite, sodalite, hauyne, calcite, and pyrite.
Primarily the result of contact metamorphism of certain limestones, it is found in rather large deposits, but at few locations.
