The Humite Group of minerals forms a morphotropic series with minerals brucite and olivine. These minerals are most often found exhibiting nice and interesting microscope images when evaluated with the aid of geological polarizing light microscopes. The mineral members of this Humite Group contain brucite-like sheets in their structures and these can be seen exhibited [...]
The chemical composition of the mineral Humite is indicated by the formula ((Mg, Fe)2SiO4)3 ? Mg(F, OH)2, a Magnesium Iron Silicate Fluoride Hydroxide. This Humite belongs to the Silicates mineral class. Humite is also a member of the Humite group of minerals. Humite is most commonly used as mineral specimen and is most often found [...]
