Position | 75 |
Mineral | Scapolite |
Sample Name | Scap |
Type | Scapolite |
Nominal formula | Na4Al3Si9O24(Cl) – Ca4Al6Si6O24(CO3) |
Supplier | Cannon Microprobe, Seattle, WA |
Source | Hancock Lake, King Co., WA |
Original reported analysis | Calculated from ideal Na formula |
Composition quality | Secondary standard |
Comments | Analysis shown is based on EDS, and stoichiometric constraints based on optimizing NaCl vs. CaCO3 scapolite components of the analysis by least squares. Result, 62% of the NaCl component is probably not bad. Does it need more work? You bet. |
