Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mineral
Andradite is a mineral species of the garnet group. It is a nesosilicate, with formula Ca3Fe2Si3O12.
Andradite includes three varieties:
- Melanite: Black in color due to limited substitution of titanium for iron. Also known as "titanian andradite". Forms a solid solution with morimotoite and schorlomite depending on titanium and iron content.[1]
- Demantoid: Vivid green in color, one of the most valuable and rare stones in the gemological world.[2]
- Topazolite: Yellow-green in color and sometimes of high enough quality to be cut into a faceted gemstone, it is rarer than demantoid.[2]
It was first described in 1868 for an occurrence in Drammen, Buskerud, Norway.[3][4][2] Andradite was named after the Brazilian statesman, naturalist, professor and poet José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva (1763–1838).[3][2]
Occurrence
It occurs in skarns developed in contact metamorphosed impure limestones or calcic igneous rocks; in chlorite schists and serpentinites and in alkalic igneous rocks (typically titaniferous). Associated minerals include vesuvianite, chlorite, epidote, spinel, calcite, dolomite and magnetite.[3] It is found in Iran, Italy, the Ural Mountains of Russia, Arizona and California and in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in Ukraine.
Like the other garnets, andradite crystallizes in the cubic space group [[IaШаблон:Overlined]], with unit-cell parameter of 12.051 Å at 100 K.[5]
The spin structure of andradite contains two mutually canted equivalent antiferromagnetic sublattices[6] below the Néel temperature (TN=11 K[7]).
