Industry:Mining
A monoclinic mineral, 4(CaBe(PO<sub>4</sub>)F) , with OH replacing F toward hydroxylherderite; pseudo-orthorhombic prismatic crystals or radiated fibrous aggregates; in late-stage pegmatites.
Industry:Mining
A monoclinic mineral, 4(CaFeSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>) ; pyroxene group; forms series with diopside and johannsenite; a common rock-forming mineral in iron-rich metamorphic rocks, limestone skarns, and fayalite-bearing plutonic rocks.
Industry:Mining
A monoclinic mineral, 4(CaMnSi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>) ; pyroxene group; forms series with diopside and hedenbergite; shows clove-brown to grayish-green columnar, radiating, and spherulitic aggregates of fibers and prisms with black tarnish; in metasomatized limestones with manganese ore.
