POLLUX, or POLLUCITE

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 7 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
POLLUX, or POLLUCITE , a rare
mineral
 , consisting of hydrous
caesium
  and
aluminium
  silicate, HZCs4A14(SiO3)9.
Caesium
 
oxide
  (CssO) is present to the extent of 30-36 %, the amount varying somewhat owing to partial replacement by other alkalis, chiefly sodium. The
mineral
  crystallizes in the cubic
system
 . It is colourless and transparent, and has a vitreous lustre. There is no distinct cleavage and the fracture is conchoidal. The hardness is 61 and the specific gravity 2.90. It occurs sparingly, together with the mineral " castor " (see PETALITE), in cavities in the granite of the
island
  of
Elba
 , and with beryl in pegmatite veins at Rumford and Hebron in
Maine
 .
