Hercynite is a spinel mineral with the formula FeAl2O4.
It occurs in high-grade metamorphosed iron-rich argillaceous (clay-containing) sediments as well as in mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks. Due to its hardness it also is found in placers.[2]
It was first described in 1847 and its name originates from the Latin name for the Harz, Silva Hercynia, where the species was first found.[2][3]
Hercynite is a spinel of regular symmetry and normal cation distribution, but some disorder occurs in its structure. It consists of ferrous (Fe2+) ions and aluminium ions (Al3+); however some ferric ions (Fe3+) may be located in the structure of hercynite.[5]
Melting point of this mineral is inbetween 1,692–1,767 °C (3,078–3,213 °F).[6]
