Taramite

A valid IMA mineral species
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
Na(CaNa)(Mg3Al2)(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2
The taramite group minerals are sodium-calcium amphiboles defined with A(Na+K+2Ca) > 0.5 apfu and 1.5 apfu < C(Al+Fe3++2Ti).

Taramite is defined with

A position: Na dominant
C2+ position: Mg dominant
C3+ position: Al dominant
W position: (OH) dominant
Colour:
Black, black with tinges of blue or green, deep blue-green
Lustre:
Vitreous
Hardness:
5 - 6
Specific Gravity:
3.231 - 3.476
Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Name:
Named for the group type locality, Walitarama, Mariupol, Ukraine.

Taramite was originally defined with Fe2+>Mg and Al=Fe3+= 1 apfu in the idealized formula. This definition remained constant through the 1978 and 1997 amphibole nomenclature reports. From 2012, taramite has been defined as the Mg- and Al-dominant member of the taramite group.
Taramite is defined as a taramite-group member with Na>K in the A position, Mg>Fe2+ and Al>Fe3+ in the C position. Taramite has been redefined in the 2012 Amphibole nomenclature in that:

1) The formula is changed from Na(NaCa)(Mg3AlFe3+)(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2 to Na(NaCa)(Mg3Al2)(Al2Si6O22)(OH)2. Consequently, all pre-2012 literature references to taramite should be checked to verify that Al>Fe3+ in the C position. If Fe3+>Al in the C position, the material will be ferri-taramite. All reported taramite from alkali complexes are presumably ferro-ferri-taramite in today's (2012) nomenclature.

2) The taramite group is in the 2012 nomenclature defined with C(Al+Fe3++2Ti) > 1.5 apfu, whereas the pre-2012 definition was used the T position, i.e 5.5 < Si < 6.5 apfu. This redefinition does not change the formula, but many compositions previously considered taramite are now katophorites. Taramite has become a rarer mineral after the redefinition.

Taramite is an amphibole that is found in Na- and Al-rich rocks that have seen HP/LP metamorphosis under upper blueschist- or eclogite-facies conditions. It is often associated with jadeite. From most localities taramite is a retrograde product probably formed under amphibolite-facies conditions.

Please only add this mineral to a locality if the identification is associated with convincing analytical data.

Optical Data of TaramiteHide

Type:
Biaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.654 nβ = 1.666 nγ = 1.671
2V:
Measured: 74° (1), Calculated: 65°
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.017
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

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 Âľm 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.

Surface Relief:
Very High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

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.
In focus
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.
Pleochroism:
Strong
Comments:
X = pale to light yellow, pale brown;
Y = deep blue-green, greenish blue;
Z = deep blue, green, black, deep gray-green.

The analysis provided by Krebs et al. (2008) is very close to the katophorite/pargasite/taramite join. The provided normalization by Krebs et al. (2008) corresponds to taramite, but normalizing the analysis by using the Locock (2014) spreadsheet yields pargasite.
