    Ankerite Ca (Fe) (CO) : Crystal Data

    Uploaded by

    angela eufracio ramos
    Ankerite is a calcium, iron, magnesium carbonate mineral that forms hexagonal crystals, often with curved or saddle-shaped faces. It has a hardness of 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale and is brittle with a white streak and vitreous to pearly luster. Ankerite forms two solid solution series with the minerals dolomite and kutnohorite. It occurs in low-grade metamorphosed ironstones, sedimentary banded iron formations, and carbonatites as well as from hydrothermal alteration of carbonate sediments and sulfide veins.

    Distribution: Many localities, but only a few have fine crystals or abundant material; regarded
    as a variety of dolomite by many older authors. In Austria, in Styria, from the Erzberg, Eisenerz,
    and at Gollrad; Steiermark. In the Brosso mine, northwest of Ivrea, Torino, Italy. From the
    Oldham area, Lancashire, England. In the USA, at the Roxbury iron mine, Litchfield Co.,
    Connecticut; in the Jeffrey quarry, near Little Rock, Pulaski Co., Arkansas; from the Eagle mine,
    Gilman district, Eagle Co., and many other places in Colorado. At Muzo, Boyacá Province,
    Colombia. Large crystals from the Tui mine, North Island, New Zealand. Abundant worldwide in
    iron formation, with studied material from: the Mesabi Range, Minnesota, USA. In the Sokoman
    Iron Formation, Howells River area, Quebec, Canada. From the Dales Gorge Member, Hamersley
    Group, Western Australia.
