HEDENBERGITE Rout Prativa Priyadarsini, group 14. Scientific adviser is Larisa Lukyanova
Hedenbergite, CaFeSi2O6, is the iron rich end member of the pyroxene group having a monoclinic crystal system. The mineral is extremely rarely found as a pure substance, and usually has to be synthesized in a lab. This mineral is unique because it can be found inchondrites and skarns (calc-silicate metamorphic rocks). Since it is a member of the pyroxene family, there is a great deal of interest in its importance to general geologic processes.
It was named in 1819 after M.A. Ludwig Hedenberg who was the first to define hedenbergite as a mineral.and later chemistry student and co- worker found at mormorgruvan, tunaberg, sweaden and published a description of the mineral. Later mineral and described it. Hedenberg and Berzelius attempted to make compounds involving first initial commonly attributed to Anders Ludvig Hedenbeg’s name signifies the title”Mister”.
Hedenbergite has a number of specific properties. Its hardness is usually between five and six with two cleavage plains and conchoidal fracture. Color varies between black, greenish black, and dark brown with a resinous luster. Hedenbergite is a part of a pyroxene solid solution chain consisting of diopside and augite, and is the iron rich end member. One of the best indicators that you have located hedenbergite is the radiating prisms with a monoclinic crystal system. Hedenbergite is found primarily inmetamorphic rocks.
