Scheffékriteerit
Scheffékriteerit is a rare mineral species that belongs to the class of clinopyroxene. It has a composition of (Li,Na,Ca)(Mg,Fe,Al)Si2O6, which indicates its complex and varied chemical makeup. The mineral was first discovered in 1984 in the state of Sapporo, Japan, by a group of scientists conducting geologic studies.
The physical properties of Scheffékriteerit include a mica-like appearance, characterized by scales or flakes that give
Scheffékriteerit has a relatively high density of 2.85-3.10 g/cm3 and has a conchoidal fracture, meaning that
Scheffékriteerit is named after the Finnschél Household in Finland, in honor of the home where the discovery
