Ellestadite: Mineral information, data and localities.
The name ellestadite (sensu lato) was first introduced by McConnell (1937) as a name for a rose-pink or orange calcium silicate-sulphate mineral from Crestmore, California, USA. "Ellestadite" was defined as the endmember in the apatite group (sensu lato) that contains SiO44- and SO42- groups substituting for PO43- group. It was named in honor of Dr. Ruben B. Ellestad (1900-1993). Rouse and Dunn (1982) showed that the Si:S ratio was close to 1:1, giving the formula Ca10(SiO4)3(SO4)3X2, where X represented fluorine (F), hydroxyl (OH) or chlorine (Cl). Based on the original chemical analysis, the type specimen should be considered hydroxylellestadite (Pasero et al. 2010).
The name ellestadite is (after the new nomenclature of the apatite supergroup 2010) used as a common name for both the OH-dominant (hydroxylellestadite) and the F-dominant species (fluorellestadite), both members of the Ellestadite Group. A chlorine-dominant phase, named ellestadite-(Cl) has been synthesized, but not found in nature (Pasero et al. 2010).
See also Ellestadite Group in the Apatite Supergroup. Recommended labelling for ellestadite specimens without a determination of the dominant anion: ellestadite.
