lizardite Min.|ˈlɪzədaɪt|
[f. Lizard, the name of a peninsula in Cornwall + -ite1.]
A basic silicate of magnesium, Mg3Si2O5(OH)4, which is a variety of serpentine.
1956Whittaker & Zussman in Mineral. Mag. XXXI. 122 A new name is desirable by means of which specimens [of serpentine] possessing the single-layer ortho-cell can be distinguished from chrysotile and from antigorite. Since a well-known locality for serpentine minerals is the Lizard area of Cornwall, England, and since specimens of the sub⁓group in question are known to occur there.., the name lizardite would seem appropriate. 1967Prof. Papers U.S. Geol. Survey No. 384B. 101/1 We have further investigated this stability using lizardite from the type locality at The Lizard, Cornwall, England..and natural admixtures of lizardite and clinochrysotile from Snarum, Parish of Buskerud, Norway, from New Almaden mine, Santa Clara County, Calif., and from Forest Hills, Hartford County, Md. 1968Zeitschr. für Kristallogr. CXXVI. 163 The measured x and z parameters of single-layer lizardite from Raduša chromite Mine, Yugoslavia, indicate a distortion of the basic serpentine layer similar to that found in chrysotiles. |
