GEOLOGICAL

Hypersthene is one of those minerals that gets misidentified often, and has a history of causing a bit of confusion! With its pearlescent lustre similar to Labradorite, and being first discovered close to where Labradorite was first found, people initially thought it was a dark Labradorite.

Its name comes from the Greek ‘hyper’ and ‘stonos’ which means ‘over strong’. This references the fact that it can be told apart from Hornblende (another mineral its often confused with) by the fact that it’s harder than Hornblende.

Hypersthene is an inosilicate mineral and a mid-way member of the minerals Enstatite and Ferrosilite. While pure Enstatite contains no Iron, and pure Ferrosillite contains no Magnesium, Hypersthene is the name given to material when both elements are present.
