Luxembourgite, ideally AgCuPbBi4Se8, is a new selenide discovered at Bivels, Grand Duchy of Lux- embourg. The mineral forms tiny fibres reaching 200 µm in length and 5 µm in diameter, which are deposited on dolomite crystals. Luxembourgite is grey, with a metallic lustre and without cleavage planes; its Mohs hard- ness is 3 and its calculated density is 8.00 g cm−3. Electron-microprobe analyses indicate an empirical formula Ag1:00.Cu0:82Ag0:20Fe0:01/61:03Pb1:13Bi4:11.Se7:72S0:01/67:73, calculated on the basis of 15 atoms per formula unit. A single-crystal structure refinement was performed to R1 D 0:0476, in the P 21=m space group, with 3 a D 13:002.1/, b D 4:1543.3/, c D 15:312.2/Å, β D 108:92.1/◦, V D 782:4.2/Å , Z D 2. The crystal struc- ture is similar to that of litochlebite and watkinsonite and can be described as an alternation of two types of anionic layers: a pseudotetragonal layer four atoms thick and a pseudohexagonal layer that is one atom thick. In the pseudotetragonal layers the Bi1, Bi2 ,Bi3, Pb, and Ag1 atoms are localised, while the Cu2 and Bi4 atoms occur between the pseudotetragonal and the pseudohexagonal layers. Bi1, Bi2, and Bi3 atoms occur in weakly distorted octahedral sites, whereas Bi4 occurs in a distorted 7-coordinated site. Ag1 occupies a fairly regular octahedral site, Cu2 a tetrahedral position, and Pb occurs on a very distorted 8-coordinated site. 1 Introduction During winter 2012, excavation works were realised by the “Société électrique de l’Our” at Bivels, in the north of the The term “Luxembourg” designates a natural region com- Grand Duchy, exposing some fragments of reddish schists posed of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and by the Lux- containing mineralised veins.

Schafer In 1916, Prof. W.E. Ford of Yale University, having just published the third Appendix to Dana's System of Mineralogy, 6th Edition, began to plan for the 7th Edition. He decided to create a file, with a separate folder for each mineral (or for each mineral group) into which he would place a citation to any paper that seemed to contain data that should be considered in the revision of the 6th Edition. He maintained the file in duplicate, with one copy going to Harvard University, when it was agreed in the early 1930's that Palache, Berman, and Fronde! there would have the main burden of the revision. A number of assistants were hired for the project, including C.W. Wolfe and M.A. Peacock to gather crystallographic data at Harvard, and Michael Fleischer to collect and evaluate chemical data at Yale. After Prof. Ford's death in March 1939, the second set of his files came to the U.S. Geological Survey and the literature has been covered since then by Michael Fleischer. Copies are now at the U.S. Geological Survey at Reston, Va., Denver, Colo., and Menlo Park, Cal., and at the U.S.

In the Part I are presented generalities concerning the definition and chemistry of sulfosalts, as well as some basic principles relative to their crystal chemical classification. Part II is a detailed presentation of all known sulfosalts species, with selected references about their definition (if recent) and crystal structure (when solved). Problems concerning the definition and nomenclature of some species are discussed on the basis of published data. This internal report will be provided to members of the C.O.M. for critical reading, in order that they may give additional information, as well as suggest corrections. A copy will also be sent to the Chairman of the CNMMN of the IMA, for information of the national representatives of this commission, who are also invited to give their comments. While Part I was written by ourselves (E. M. & Y. M.), Part II reflects a fruitful collaboration, past or present, of many specialists of sulfosalt mineralogy. Their names are given at the beginning of part II. It is a provisional list, until the final approval of the official report these co-authors; some names may be added later when relevant.

Contour map showing distribution of unit cell sizes- ---- 10 Abstract The Montezuma district of central Colorado is a small base metal-silver mining district containing vein deposits associated with a Tertairy porphyry stock. The distribution of tetrahedrite having large unit-cell edges correlates in part with the distribution of more productive mines and suggests areas favorable for further production. The abundance of galena and sphalerite in veins, but not of pyrite, also correlates with the distribution of the more productive mines. Introduction The Montezuma district is an area of base metal-silver vein deposits associated with a Tertiary porphyry stock. It is similar to many mineralized areas associated with other Tertiary stocks in the Colorado mineral belt and elsewhere. The district is roughly triangular in shape, with an area of 125 km 2 ; it is situated on the Continental Divide just south of Loveland Pass in the central Rocky Mountains (Fig. 1). Relief is about 1525 m; maximum elevation is the summit of Grays Peak (4350 m).

Cooper, Jr. 430 Van Ness Avenue Santa Cruz, California 95060 Several rare Ag-Cu-Pb-Bi sulfosalts occur sparingly in dump material from three small mines in the Darwin mining district. These sulfosalts include cupropavonite, friedrichite, gustavite, heyrovskyite, junoite, krupkaite, pavonite and vikingite. __________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The Darwin mining district, Inyo County, California, located at 36o 17’ N., 117o 35’ W., has long been known for its deposits of lead-silver-zinc ore, including several rare sulfosalts; in addition, ores of tungsten, antimony, copper and gold have been produced. Complete descriptions of the Darwin Quadrangle geology and ore-related deposits are given by Hall and MacKevett (1958), Czamanske and Hall (1975), Hall (1962,1971), and Hall et al. (1971). ______________________________________________________________________________________________1 Axis, Volume 2, Number 4 (2006) www.MineralogicalRecord.com ■ ■ The sulfosalts described in this study were identified following a quantitative electron microprobe and X-ray powder-diffraction examination of specimens collected during the winters of 1961 and 1962 from the dumps of the abandoned St. Charles, Lucky Lucy and Silver Spoon mines. These sulfosalts include cupropavonite, friedrichite, gustavite, heyrovskyite, junoite, krupkaite, pavonite and vikingite and are represented by the Cu2S-Ag2S-PbS-Bi2(S,Se)3 system with no discernible Sb or As substitution.
