Formula: (Ca,Na)[Al(Al,Si)Si 2 O 8 ]
System: Triclinic Colour: Colourless, grey, ...
Lustre: Sub-Vitreous Hardness: 6 - 6
Member of: Feldspar Group
Name: Named after its locality ("Bytown," now Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
https://www.mindat.org/min-815.html 1/16
A variety of Anorthite
A plagioclase feldspar with an albite : anorthite molar ratio ranging from 10 : 90 to 30 : 70.
The original material, a greenish-white substance, was found in a boulder near Bytown (now Ottawa), and later shown to be a mixture (Robert A. A.
Johnston, 1915). This locality now appears to have been lost. Additionally, the original specimens are either extremely rare or no longer exist in
collections. Gemmy feldspar pieces are, on occasion, falsely attributed to the original bytownite locality.
