Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Edenite is a double chain silicate mineral of the Amphibole group with the general chemical composition Na[Ca2][Mg5[(OH)2-AlSi7O22]. Edenite is named for the locality of Edenville, New York, where it can be commonly found. Edenite has been found primarily in metamorphic rocks, occurring in pods of other magnesium rich minerals within a marble formation or with garnet rich lherzolites from deep within the Earth's crust. Thus, finding edenite in the field can indicate high temperature regional metamorphism of the surrounding rocks. While edenite is not important for commercial or industrial applications, it is often studied because of its unique chemical substitution properties. Results from research performed on amphiboles have shown that edenite is particularly suited for fitting chlorine anions into its chemical framework.
