Mineralogical Characteristics of Ureyite in Jadeite Jade

More Information
  • Received Date: March 16, 2007
  • In the paper, mineralogical characteristics and compositions of ureyite in jadeite jade are studied by using EPMA, X-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy analysis.The results show that ureyite is paragenous with jadeite jade, and the chemical formula of ureyite is(Na0.83Ca0.02)(Cr0.78Al0.10Fe0.08Mg0.02) Si2.06O6.The unit cell parameters of ureyite are a=9.530 Å, b=8.672 Å, c=5.264 Å, β=107.51°, V=414.88 and the density is 3.55g/cm3.Different shades of green in ureyite are related to the crystal-field transition frequency of Cr3+.
