phenakite (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Phenakite or phenacite is a fairly rare nesosilicate mineral consisting of beryllium orthosilicate (Be2SiO4), and occurring as colourless or white scales and prisms, and occasionally used as a gemstone in jewelry. Its name comes from Ancient Greek: phénax, meaning "deceiver" due to its close visual similarity to quartz, named by Nils Gustaf Nordenskiöld in 1833.

| Dutch ..... Fenakiet of phenaciet is een vrij zeldzaam nesosilicaatmineraal dat bestaat uit berylliumorthosilicaat (Be2SiO4). Af en toe gebruikt als edelsteen in sieraden. De naam komt uit het Oudgrieks: phénax, wat "bedrieger" betekent vanwege de sterke visuele gelijkenis met kwarts, genoemd door Nils Gustaf Nordenskiöld in 1833. |
