#Tugtupite is our second sodalite-structure (after #Haüyne). Finch et al. (2016) investigated the sources of color from point defects, bonds, and coordination in the #sodalite cage structure.
Tugupite is different, due to the beryllium substitution & also that the sodium atoms (large grey balls in the images) are five-fold coordinated, not four-fold.
Tugupite is #tenebrescent (my word of the day): it changes color in daylight, and this might be useful in window blinds.

2) has been used since Egyptian times as eyeliner, in cosmetics, and as medicine
3) Used in glitter compositions in fireworks#Sodalite
1) It fluoresces bright red-orange under ultraviolet light
2) The uniformly blue parts are used in jewellery.
3) Sodalite-bearing rocks are used as decorative floor and wall coverings -

@FaithfullJohn #sodalite is just one of several blue minerals in #minCup23 -get used to it! Better than stibnite swords of death.

Now the cool thing about #NephilineSyenite is that yes, there will be a sizeable proportion of silica containing alkali feldspar. #Sodalite, #Nephiline and others, if present, crystallize AFTER the available Si is used up. So they may be vein-filling or adjacent in the matrix. But if they are present, that's definitive for a silica poor source magma. Anyway, VOTE SODALITE! #TeamSodalite #MinCup23

Glenn Poirier (one of the authors of the Mont Saint-Hilaire mineral book) and Paula Piilonen visited a new #sodalite locality in #BritishColumbia for the Canadian Museum of Nature, #Ottawa.

So, what does it take to be a silica deficient magma like those that produce #Sodalite? Well, the entire earth is 32%Fe, 30%O, 15%Si & it drops off quick. But the crust is 47%O, 28%Si, 8%Al, 5%Fe. You need to remove that 28% for #NephileneSyenite rock so the source material itself must be silica deprived. Magmas created from quartz-poor sources include deep marine subduction zones where ocean floor sediments are clayey, calcareous, high in AL but also low in silica, which is rare! #MinCup23
