kirschsteinite Min.|ˈkɪəʃstaɪnaɪt|
[f. the name of Egon Kirschstein (see quot. 1957) + -ite1.]
Iron-monticellite, esp. as a naturally occurring mineral.
1957Sahama & Hytönen in Mineral. Mag. XXXI. 698 For this natural CaFeSiO4 the name kirschsteinite is proposed, in honour of the German geologist, the late Dr. Egon Kirschstein, who died in the events of the World War I in East Africa. Ibid., The analysis corresponds to the following molecular composition: CaFeSiO4 69·4 mol. %, CaMnSiO4 4·3, CaMgSiO4 22·6, excess Fe2SiO4 3·7. Accordingly, the mineral is to be called magnesian kirschsteinite. 1962W. A. Deer et al. Rock-Forming Min. I. 1 The iron analogue of monticellite, kirschsteinite, CaFeSiO4, is known from slags, but has not been reported from a natural occurrence, and a magnesium-rich kirschsteinite containing 69 per cent. CaFeSiO4 is the most iron-rich mineral of the Fe2SiO4—CaFeSiO4 series yet reported. 1966Amer. Mineralogist LI. 1192 Mineralogical studies on the debris formed during the underground Gnome nuclear explosion in a salt horizon of the Salado formation near Carlsbad, New Mexico have shown that significant quantities of olivine and kirschsteinite are present in the water insoluble fraction. |
