Name:
Named in 1813 by Jacques Louis, Comte de Bournon in honour of Sir Abraham Hume [February 20, 1749 London, England, UK – March 24, 1838 Wormley Bury. England, UK], English connoisseur and collector of gems, minerals and artwork.
Type Locality:
Humite is a mineral closely related to and resembling norbergite, chondrodite and clinohumite. These minerals are very difficult to distinguish. Humite appears to have a narrower field of stability (bulk chemistry and temperature) than clinohumite, chondrodite and norbergite. Humite is often associated with one or more of the other humite-group minerals, often as intergrowths. Humite may in such cases often be a late stage overgrowth.
NOTE: Many papers and articles do not distinguish between the mineral humite and the humite group of minerals, consequently several literature references and also MinDat locality entries may be incorrectly attributed to the mineral humite rather than the mineral group.
A synthetic, isotypic hydroxyl analogue is known (Wunder et al., 1995); the Unnamed (OH-analogue of humite) has subsequently been found in nature.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.
Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.
Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised
light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive
index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral
colouration.

Interference Figure:
This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure
- the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using
this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points
where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the
field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are
isogyres.
Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Sometimes fluoresces weak pale-yellow in SW. May be confused with norbergite or chondrodite that may have a bright fluorescent response, but chondrodite does not always fluoresce.
