  • The Structure and Composition of the Mineral Pharmacosiderite

    Zeitschrift fUr Kristallographie, Bd. 125, S. 92-108 (1967) The structure and composition of the mineral pharmacosiderite By M. J. BUERGER, W. A. DOLLASE* and ISABEL GARAYCOCHEA-WITTKE** Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts Dedicated to Prof. Dr. G. Menzer on the occasion of his 70th birthday (Received April 17, 1967) Auszug Eine Struktur von Pharmakosiderit wurde von ZEMANN 1947 vorgeschlagen. An einem Pharmakosiderit von Cornwall untersuchten wir die Struktur von neuem. Obwohl die starken Reflexe mit P43m bei a = 7,98 A im Einklang sind, in Ubereinstimmung mit ZEMANNS Ergebnissen, verlangen doch einige schwa- chere Reflexe eine groJ3ere Elementarzelle, was zusammen mit einer schwachen Doppelbrechung auf eine geringere Symmetrie hinweist. Wegen der Inhomogeni- tat des Materials muJ3ten wir uns auf die Untersuchung einer gemittelten Struk- tur, bezogen auf eine isometrische Zelle mit a = 7,98 A, beschranken. Wir konn- ten die Struktur bis zu R = 6!% verfeinern. Unsere Untersuchung bestatigt das von ZEMANN vorgeschlagene Strukturgerust, andert jedoch etwas an der Aus- fUllung der offenen Raume, an der keine Alkaliatome beteiligt sind. Wenn die Struktur auf die isometrische Zelle mit a = 7,98 A bezogen wird, so konnen die Wassermolekiile nur teilweise die Punktlagen besetzen, denen sie zugeordnet sind. Wir schlieJ3en daraus, daJ3 das Pharmakosiderit-Gerust kontinuierlich ist, das Wasser in den Hohlraumen jedoch die Symmetrie verringert, und daJ3 sich der einheitlich erscheinende Kristall in Wirklichkeit aus Bereichen zusanunen- setzt, in denen die Anordnung der Wassermolekule einheitlich ist, aber an den Bereichsgrenzen Zwillingsorientierungen aufweist. Es wird gezeigt, daJ3 bei Behandlung von Pharmakosiderit mit Alkalihydro- xyd-Losungen Alkaliatome in die Struktur eindringen.

BIRCH Geosciences Section, Museum Victoria, GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia ABSTRACT The crystal structures of two polymorphic forms of bariopharmacosiderite have been determined. Bariopharmacosiderite-C, from Robinson’s Reef, Clunes, Victoria, Australia, (Ba0.47K0.04Na0.02)(Fe3.97Al0.03)[(As0.72P0.28)O4]3(OH)4•2.52H2O, is cubic, space group P43m, a 7.942(1) Å, Z = 1, R = 0.089. Bariopharmacosiderite-Q, from the Sunny Corner mine, Sunny Corner, New South Wales, Australia, Ba0.5Fe4(OH)4(AsO4)3•6.16H2O, is tetragonal, space group P42m, a 7.947(1), c 8.049(2) Å, Z = 1, R = 0.050. In the cubic polymorph, Ba ions are disordered over all faces of the unit cell, whereas in the tetragonal polymorph, Ba ions are centered on the 001 face.

    Nelenite, a Manganese Arsenosilicate of the Friedelite Group, Polymorphous with Schallerite, from Franklin, New Jersey

    MINERALOGICAL MAGAZINE, JUNE 1984, VOL. 48, PP. 271-5 Nelenite, a manganese arsenosilicate of the friedelite group, polymorphous with schallerite, from Franklin, New Jersey PETE J. DUNN Department of Mineral Sciences, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560, USA AND DONALD R. PEACOR Department of Geological Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA ABSTRACT. Nelenite, (Mn,Fe)16Si1203o(OH)'4[As~+06 typically related to schallerite. We have examined (OHh], is a polymorph of schallerite and a member of the this material in light of current knowledge of the friedelite group. X-ray diffraction patterns can be indexed crystal chemistry of friedelite and schallerite and on a supercell with a = 13.418(5) and c = 85.48(8) A, have found it to be a unique and valid species. The space group R3m, but by analogy with TEM results on mcGillite and friedelite, the structure is based on a old name,jerroschallerite, is a misnomer in that this one-layer monoclinic cell with a 23.240, b 13.418, material is not the Fe-analogue of schallerite and = = does not have the schallerite structure. Hence, we c = 7.382 A, {3= 105.21°, and space group C21m. Chemi- cal analysis yields Si02 31.12, FeO 17.12, MgO 0.12, have renamed it to avoid confusion. ZnO 3.63, MnO 29.22, As203 12.46, H20 6.42, sum = We take pleasure in naming this new mineral 100.09 %. Analysis of a number of samples indicates that nelenite in honour of Joseph A. Nelen, Chemist at Fe substitutes for Mn up to 5.8 of the 16 octahedrally the Smithsonian Insitution, in recognition of his coordinated cations, but that the Si: As ratio is constant.

    Here is a text file containing the list of all species found at Franklin-Sterling Hill, the identification of the fluorescent species, a bibliography, and hotels in the area. This is a LONG text file! Best regards, Jeff W and Don H ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The species list More than 340 minerals, some 80 of them fluorescent under ultraviolet light, are known from the Franklin-Sterling district -- a world's record. The current list of verified mineral species for the Franklin Sterling area is shown below. This list is updated annually and published in the bulletin for the Franklin Mineral Show, held each autumn in Franklin New Jersey.
