A name suggested for a doubtful substance conjectured to be a hydrated oxide of nickel, Texas, Penn., C. U. Shepard, Min. Contr., 1877. Hydrophilite.--See Chlorocalcite, p. 25. Hydrorhodonite. N. Engstrdm, Geol. For. Forh., ii., 468,1875. Massive; crystalline. Cleavage easy in one direction. H. = 5-6. G. = 2-70. Lustre dtreous. Color red-brown. Streak brownish white. Translucent, in thin splinters transparent. Fracture splintery. Analyses: SiO2 MnO FcO MgO CaO Li.O Na2O H O 1. 44-07 30-83 1-04 6-98 3-60 1-2:5 039 11 84 = 99-98. 2. 44-06 81-l5 1-00 7-24 3-54 (LiCl, NaCl = 4-80) 11-06. Formula RSiO2 + H2O, or rhodonite plus a molecule of water. Soluble in HCl, with the separation of silica. B. B. fuses easily to an opaque, brownish red bead; reacts for manganese. The powdered mineral becomes black on heating. From Langban, in Wermland, Sweden. Perhaps simply a hydrated rhodonite. Hydrotitanite.--See Perofskite, p. 91.
