Aegyrine

Presentation :

Names) :

• Aegyrine.

Etymology:

• Berzelius (1821), who analyzed the mineral, named it achmit after the Greek αχμη, spear point, because of the habit of the crystals.
  
• Later, in 1834, the priest and mineralogist Hans Morten Thrane Esmark discovered a new mineral at Låven in the Langesundsfjorden in Norway, which was described and called aegirine, after Ægir (Aegir), the sea god in the Norse mythology, as the location of the crater was along the edge of the sea (Berzelius 1835). Acmite and aegirine were initially two distinct species, one belonging to the amphiboles (acmite) and the other to the pyroxenes (aegirine). This was the case until 1871, when G. Tschermak provided proof that acmite and aegirine both belonged to the pyroxenes and constituted the same mineral. Acmite has been considered a variety of aegirine (historically, acmite took priority and therefore should have been the other way around).
