Werdingite, a new borosilicate mineral from the granulite facies of the western Namaqualand metamorphic complex, South Africa
A new borosilicate mineral, werdingite, is reported from the granulite facies of the Namaqualand metamorphic complex at Bok se Puts, Namaqualand, South Africa. The mineral occurs in association with kornerupine and grandidierite in a sillimanite-hercynite-rich band in a supracrustal gneissic sequenc...

| description | A new borosilicate mineral, werdingite, is reported from the granulite facies of the Namaqualand metamorphic complex at Bok se Puts, Namaqualand, South Africa. The mineral occurs in association with kornerupine and grandidierite in a sillimanite-hercynite-rich band in a supracrustal gneissic sequence. The crystallographic, mineralogical and optical properties of werdingite are described. Werdingite is named in honor of Dr. Gunter Werding, Institut fur Mineralogie, Ruhr-Universitat, Bochum, Germany. -after Authors |
