Rodalquilarite is characterised by ferric ion absorption 21 in the range 12300-8800 cm-1. 22 Three water vibrational overtones are observed in xocomecatlite at 7140, 7075 23 and 6935 cm-1 where as in tlapallite bands are shifted to low wavenumbers at 7135, 24 7080 and 6830 cm-1.

  • Empressite, Agte, from the Empress-Josephine Mine, Colorado, U.S.A.: Composition, Physical Properties, and Determination of the Crystal Structure
    American Mineralogist, Volume 89, pages 1043–1047, 2004 Empressite, AgTe, from the Empress-Josephine mine, Colorado, U.S.A.: Composition, physical properties, and determination of the crystal structure LUCA BINDI,1,* PAUL G. SPRY,2 AND CURZIO CIPRIANI1 1 Museo di Storia Naturale, Sezione di Mineralogia, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Via La Pira, 4 I-50121 Firenze, Italy 2 Department of Geological and Atmospheric Sciences, 253 Science I, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011-3210, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The chemistry and composition of empressite, AgTe, a rare silver telluride mineral, has been mistaken in the mineralogical literature for the silver telluride stützite (Ag5–xTe3). Empressite from the type locality, the Empress-Josephine deposit (Colorado), occurs as euhedral prismatic grains up to 400 μm in length and contains no inclusions or intergrowths with other minerals. It is pale bronze in color and shows a grey-black to black streak. No cleavage is observed in empressite but it shows an uneven to subconchoidal 2 fracture and Vickers hardness (VHN25) of 142 kg/mm . Empressite is greyish white in color, with strong bireflectance and pleochroism. Reflectance percentages forR min and Rmax are 40.1, 45.8 (471.1 nm), 39.6, 44.1 (548.3 nm), 39.4, 43.2 (586.6 nm), and 38.9, 41.8 (652.3 nm), respectively. Empressite is orthorhombic and belongs to space group Pmnb (Pnma as standard), with the fol- lowing unit-cell parameters: a = 8.882(1), b = 20.100(5), c = 4.614(1) Å, V = 823.7(3) Å3, and Z = 16.

KRUGER, P.A. M. NEX AND R.G. CAWTHORN (Department of Geology, School of Geosciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, P.O. WITS 2050, Johannesburg, South Africa) ECONOMIC GEOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INFORMATION CIRCULAR No. 369 December, 2002 CHROMITITES OF THE BUSHVELD COMPLEX – PROCESSES OF FORMATION AND PGE ENRICHMENT ABSTRACT The mafic layered suite of the 2.05 Ga old Bushveld Complex hosts a number of substantial PGE-bearing chromitite layers, including the UG2, within the Critical Zone, together with thin chromitite stringers of the platinum-bearing Merensky Reef. Until 1982, only the Merensky Reef was mined for platinum although it has long been known that chromitites also host platinum group minerals. Three groups of chromitites occur: a Lower Group of up to seven major layers hosted in feldspathic pyroxenite; a Middle Group with four layers hosted by feldspathic pyroxenite or norite; and an Upper Group usually of two chromitite packages, hosted in pyroxenite, norite or anorthosite. There is a systematic chemical variation from bottom to top chromitite layers, in terms of Cr : Fe ratios and the abundance and proportion of PGE’s. Although all the chromitites are enriched in PGE’s relative to the host rocks, the Upper Group 2 layer (UG2) shows the highest concentration.

Recent field works on the fumaroles of the Second scoria cone in 2014 and 2015 resulted in discovery of a new mineral species, puninite, and collection of fresh alumoklyuchevskite and kamchatkite samples which allowed the re-refinement of crystal structures. The crystal structure of kamchatkite, KCu3O(SO4)2Cl, was solved and refined in Pnma 3 space group (a = 9.755(2), b = 7.0152(15), c = 12.886(3) Å, V = 881.8(3) Å , R1 = 0.021), whereas alumoklyuchevskite, K3Cu3 AlO2(SO4)4, is triclinic, P1(a = 4.952(3), b = 11.978(6), c = 14.626(12) Å, a = 87.119(9), b = 80.251(9), g = 78.070(9)°, V = 836.3 3 (9) Å , R1 = 0.049) in contrast to previously reported data.

  • Petrology of Nepheline Syenite Pegmatites in the Oslo Rift, Norway: Zr and Ti Mineral Assemblages in Miaskitic and Agpaitic Pegmatites in the Larvik Plutonic Complex

Agpaitic nepheline syenites have complex, Na-Ca-Zr-Ti minerals as the main hosts for zirconium and titanium, rather than zircon and titanite, which are characteristic for miaskitic rocks. The transition from a miaskitic to an agpaitic crystallization regime in silica-undersaturated magma has traditionally been related to increasing peralkalinity of the magma, but halogen and water contents are also important parameters. The Larvik Plutonic Complex (LPC) in the Permian Oslo Rift, Norway consists of intrusions of hypersolvus monzonite (larvikite), nepheline monzonite (lardalite) and nepheline syenite. Pegmatites ranging in composition from miaskitic syenite with or without nepheline to mildly agpaitic nepheline syenite are the latest products of magmatic differentiation in the complex. The pegmatites can be grouped in (at least) four distinct suites from their magmatic Ti and Zr silicate mineral assemblages.
