  HUMITE Chapter15. Nesosilicates
Humite, a magnesium silicate hydroxide mineral of the humite group, has not been studied from the local marble quarries.
At Sterling Hill, manganoan humite is brown and associated with franklinite, calcite, and minor willemite.
Humite has been observed as a reaction rim on apparent tephroite (Dunn, 1985a), and it coexists with chondrodite, but no studies have been made of the possible partitioning of cations between these species.

 Mineral description : Humite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Humite (or clinohumite) as a thin vein in calcite, from Ihalainen, Finland.
Humite is the naming member of a group of minerals called the humite group.
The crystal structure of the humite group minerals is as layers of silicate and oxide.

 Humite - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
HUMITE, a group of minerals consisting of basic magnesium fluo-silicates, with the following formulae: - Chondrodite, Mg 3 [Mg(F,OH)] 2 [S/0 4 ] 2; Humite, Mg5[Mg(F,OH)]2[S104]3; Clinohumite, Mg 7 [Mg(F,OH)] 2 [SiO 4 ] 4.
Humite crystallizes in the orthorhombic and the two others in the monoclinic system, but between them there is a close crystallographic relation: the lengths of the vertical axes are in the ratio 5: 7: 9, and this is also the ratio of the number of magnesium atoms present in each of the three minerals.
Further, they often occur associated together, and it is only comparatively recently that the three species have been properly discriminated.

The humite group phases, amphibole and phlogopite in assemblages I and II, which occur exclusively in the northern sector, compared to assemblage III show higher fluorine contents.
Humite was formed by late-stage replacement of chondrodite in accordance with earlier studies (Tilley, 1951; Rosen and Raith, 1995), which suggests that humite may not be stable at high temperature (cf.

 Lets Talk Gemstones
Wiberforce, Ontario, Canada is a source of crystals of the humite group, and deposits in Pargas, Finland and Kafveltorp, Orebro, Sweden produce yellow material.
Like chondrodite and humite, the crystals are so small that the very few gemstones cut from this material are the province of collectors.
Humite exhibits a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, a density of 3.20 to 3.32, and refractive index readings from 1.607 to 1.675.

is, however, preferred because his treatment of the humite group is in accordance with the results from X-ray studies obtained independently by Bragg and West.
The last column of the table is the preferred position, similar to the position given to humite by Goldschmidt.

Note that the RI for Humite shows up in red numbers surrounded by a blue border.
This is because Humite's RI falls outside the normal range of the RI's we entered but within the new Near Hits buffer zone.
Note that the red Refractive Index numbers are because Humite is a Near Hit in the RI category.

 An investigation of matrix effects in the analysis of fluorine in humite-group minerals by EMPA, SIMS, and SREF -- ...
In analyzing fluoborite in the most unfavorable cases, the difference in Ion Yield (F/Mg) between "disoriented" humite-group minerals and "oriented" fluoborite samples can reach approximately 27%.
Finally, a lower than expected IY(F/Si) from the F/Si working curve (made with humite minerals) is shown by topaz, which can be ascribed to chemical matrix effects, as well as to the covalent-type bonding between F and the major element in the matrix (Al).
