Шаблон:Infobox mineral Inesite is a hydrous calcium manganese silicate mineral.[1] Its chemical formula is Ca2Mn7Si10O28(OH)2•5(H2O). Inesite is an inosilicate with a triclinic crystal system. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6, and a specific gravity of 3.0. Its name originates from the Greek Ίνες (Шаблон:Lang), "fibers" in allusion to its color and habit. [2]
Occurrence and distribution
Inesite occurs in hydrothermal replacement deposits of manganese-rich metamorphic rocks and serpentines.[3] It was first described in 1887 at Hilfe Gottes Mine, Oberscheld, Dillenburg, Dillenburg District, Hesse, Germany. Outside of the type locality, there are several notable localities of inesite, such as:[4][5]
- Wessels and N'Chwanning Mines, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa where Inesite is associated with datolite, pectolite, apophyllite, ruizite, orientite and quartz.
- Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia.
- Långban, Persberg, Värmland, Sweden.
- Kawazu Mine, Shizuoka Prefecture, Chubu Region, Honshu Island, Japan
- Hale Creek Mine, Trinity County, California, USA, where Inesite is associated with Rhodochrosite, bementite, and hausmannite.
- Fengjishan Mine (Daye Copper Mine), Edong Mining District, Daye County, Huangshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, China.
