Name Origin for Saurolite : From the Greek, stauros ( oxov) = "cross" and lithos (0o) = "stone" in allusion to
the common cross shaped twins of the crystals.Due to its shape staurolite is considered by Christians a stone which
brings fortune . Staurolite deposits are in Russia , France, Austria , Helvetia , USA , Norway.

Lovely Listwaenite!
Avvc Pooou
rassannie@gmail.com
BA Rice University, Texas, PhD University of California

- Listwaenite, in this case, is the alteration product of an already altered ultramafic rock.
The definition of listwaenite has evolved so much through the last decades that it is best understandable as a
concept rather than a proper mineral or mineraloid or mix of minerals (such as quartz with carbonates and sericites,
but sometimes other minerals and sometimes not even with quartz it is, indeed, an evolving term!)
- This particular rock, starting out as a harzburgite peridotite (a rock made of mostly olivine and some
orthopyroxene with a smattering of chromite) born in the earths mantle, was altered to serpentine en route to its
present position at an altitude of 2000m in the mountains of the Pindos. Serpentinization is essentially a process of
hydration of these ultramafic rocks and wherever hydration occurs, there are plenty of fluids around to circulate
and cause further alteration of whatever has been altered before. These processes have the wonderful tendency to
aid the escape of elements that do not easily fit into the atomic structures of the minerals in the original rocks; the
fluids accompanying alteration transport these fugitive elements, redepositing them within brittle fractures as veins
when the fluids cool or run out of steam, so to speak.
- In the case of listwaenite, these fugitive elements can even be big fat atoms of gold. Gold is so rare within mantle
rocks that we do not even bother to analyze for it. But these alteration processes are so highly efficient in
concentrating such rare ungainly elements that economic concentrations of gold can be found with listwaenites.
- The colors of listwaenite vary as much as its definitions: red and yellow is popular; yellow and green is mentioned
in the literature frequently, and semi-precious varieties are light grey and ethereal in appearance. In the gold rush
country of California, prospectors are said to have called it blue jay. But my favorite color is this teal blue sample!
- Now, if I could only find enough students with pick axes so we could remove this sample from its present position
and get it into my lab
