Abstract/NotesSummaryZincian högbomite has formed by hydrous alteration of spinel and biotite in a lens of highly aluminomagnesian sapphirine-bearing granulite-facies rocks. The högbomite forms chestnut-brown {0001} flakes 1 mm across. ε = 1·827, ω = 1·852 (− 0·002). Analysis: BeO 0·10, SiO20·65, Al2O3 59·69, TiO2 5·37, Ga2O3 0·23, Nb2O5 0·01, Fe2O3 5·24, SnO2 0·06, NiO 0·04, ZrO2 0·03, MgO 7•69, Sc2O3 0·01, CoO 0·11, ZnO 3·08, FeO 17·52, In2O3 0·05, MnO 0·12. The pattern of d-spacings is anomalous. Other högbomites from the region have exsolved from cordierite or titaniferous opaque oxides.
