WHAT DOES CUMMINGTONITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cummingtonite

Cummingtonite

Cummingtonite is a metamorphic amphibole with the chemical composition ☐Mg2Mg5Si8O222, magnesium iron silicate hydroxide. Monoclinic cummingtonite is compositionally similar and polymorphic with orthorhombic anthophyllite, which is a much more common form of magnesium-rich amphibole, the latter being metastable. Cummingtonite shares few compositional similarities with alkali amphiboles such as arfvedsonite, glaucophane-riebeckite. There is little solubility between these minerals due to different crystal habit and inability of substitution between alkali elements and ferro-magnesian elements within the amphibole structure.

Definition of cummingtonite in the English dictionary

The definition of cummingtonite in the dictionary is an amphibole mineral, magnesium iron silicate hydroxide, found in metamorphic rocks.
