Most crystals were attached at one end of the &-axis;only three doubly terminated crystals could be found. These indicated holohedral symmetry. A test for piezoelectricity by the cathode-ray oscilloscope method gave negative results. The crystals range in size from j mm. to 8 mm. along [010]. The crystals are rather simple in habit.

The wide variation in the indices of refraction is due to variation in the chem- ical composition of the crystals, as is clearly shown by comparison of the data on the cuprian and cobaltian material from Tsumeb, but since chemical analyses are lacking in most instances the nature of the rela- tionship is not clear. X-Rav Srunv A selectedsingle-crystal of the Mapimi adamite was studied by the Weissenberg r-ray method. The unit cell dimensions, given in Table 5, are in close agreement with those obtained by Strunz (1936) and Kok- koros (1937) on adamite from Thasos and Laurium.

  • Formation of Chrysocolla and Secondary Copper Phosphates in the Highly Weathered Supergene Zones of Some Australian Deposits
    Records of the Australian Museum (2001) Vol. 53: 49–56. ISSN 0067-1975 Formation of Chrysocolla and Secondary Copper Phosphates in the Highly Weathered Supergene Zones of Some Australian Deposits MARTIN J. CRANE, JAMES L. SHARPE AND PETER A. WILLIAMS School of Science, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) ABSTRACT. Intense weathering of copper orebodies in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia has produced an unusual suite of secondary copper minerals comprising chrysocolla, azurite, malachite and the phosphates libethenite and pseudomalachite. The phosphates persist in outcrop and show a marked zoning with libethenite confined to near-surface areas. Abundant chrysocolla is also found in these environments, but never replaces the two secondary phosphates or azurite. This leads to unusual assemblages of secondary copper minerals, that can, however, be explained by equilibrium models. Data from the literature are used to develop a comprehensive geochemical model that describes for the first time the origin and geochemical setting of this style of economically important mineralization.

Both minerals are triclinic, their structures are closely related to the parent structure, i.e. the 'tsumcorite type' (C2/m, Z = 2).
