Named for Ernst Ludwig, an Austrian Professor of Chemistry at the University of Vienna in Austria who was the first to analyze the type material. Ludwigite is a somewhat uncommon, but widespread mineral that can be found in Romania, Italy, Scotland, Sweden, Russia, Iran, the United States, Canada, and North Korea, among others. Typically, Ludwigite occurs in magnesian iron skarn and in contact metamorphic deposits. It is likely that Ludwigite is weakly ferromagnetic, a naturally permanent magnet.
In this specimen, multiple layers of compact black fans and patches of Ludwigite in a greenish white matrix, possibly another borate mineral. This specimen from the Mountain Lake Mine is an interesting addition to any mineral collection.
