    Chondrodite: Humites Nesosilicates Orthorhombic

    Uploaded by

    Charmaine Dela Cruz
    The document describes the mineral chondrodite. Chondrodite is a nesosilicate mineral that is orthorhombic in structure with moderate relief. It is typically colorless to yellow with an refractive index ranging from 1.592 to 1.675 and birefringence from 0.025 to 0.037 showing 3rd order interference colors. Images show crystals of chondrodite from the Loch Borrolan carbonatite exhibiting pleochroism under plane polarized light.
