N2 - Oxo-magnesio-hastingsite, ideally NaCa2(Mg2Fe 3+ 3)(Al2Si6)O22O 2, is a new anhydrous amphibole from the Deeti volcanic cone in the Gregory rift (northern Tanzania). The mineral occurs as megacrysts up to 12 cm in size in crystal-rich tuff. Oxo-magnesio-hastingsite is brown with a vitreous lustre and has a perfect {110} cleavage. The measured density is 3.19(1) g/cm3. Ferri-kaersutite is biaxial (-), a = 1.706 (2), b = 1.715(2), g = 1.720(2) (Na light, 589 nm). 2V (calc.) = 73. Dispersion: r > v, weak; orientation: Y = b; Z ^ c = 8; pleochroism: strong, Z: dark brown, Y: brown, X: light brown. The average chemical formula of the mineral derived from electron microprobe analyses, Mössbauer spectroscopy and direct water determination is (Na0.67K0.33)Σ1.00(Ca 1.87Na0.14Mn0.01)Σ2.02(Mg 3.27Fe3+ 1.25Ti0.44Al 0.08)Σ5.04(Al1.80Si6.20O 22)(O1.40OH0.60)Σ2.00. It has monoclinic symmetry, space group C2/m and unit-cell parameters a = 9.8837(3), b = 18.0662(6), c = 5.3107(2) Å, b = 105.278(1)o, V = 914.77(5) Å3, Z = 2. T
