About PerraultiteHide

Formula:

BaNaMn²⁺₄Ti₂(Si₂O₇)₂O₂(OH)₂F

Colour:

Orange brown

Lustre:

Vitreous, Waxy

Hardness:

6½

Specific Gravity:

3.71

Crystal System:

Triclinic

Member of:

Bafertisite Group > Seidozerite Supergroup

Name:

Named after Professor Guy Perrault (1927-2002) of the École Polytechnique, Université de Montréal, Canada. Perrault was an early investigator of Mont Saint-Hilaire mineralogy and described lemoynite, yofortierite and steacyite.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Poudrette quarry (De-Mix quarry; Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire; MSH), Mont Saint-Hilaire, La Vallée-du-Richelieu RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada

Mn-analogue of jinshajiangite.
Ti-analogue of bobshannonite.

Chemically similar to hejtmanite.

Surkhobite was discredited by IMA in 2020 and shown to be identical with perraultite (cf. Sokolova et al., 2019).
