The shaft explores a steeply east dipping fault zone with purplish andesite masses. Wickenburgite, as well as the other species, occurs in this fault zone at the collar of the shaft and in the material on the dump. Wickenburgite was the last species to crystallize in this assemblage and therefore, forms euhedral crystals in cavities and vugs.

LOST SPANIARD MARICOPA COUNTY KAP WR 3/20/87: Visited the Lost Spaniard (file) Maricopa County located at the section corner common to sections 13, 14, 24 T4N R7W. Here a rhyolite (andesite) dike strikes essentially north-south and dips 75° east. A vein 1 to 4 feet wide below the hanging way of the dike contains oxide minerals of lead, zinc, and copper with fluorite and calcite in a rhyolite (andesite?) breccia. The property has been explored by an inclined shaft on the vein about 75 feet deep. A sample ADMMR #28219 was taken from select dump material for the purpose of checking for fluorescence and mineral identification. The shaft is in good condition. Part of a claim group called the Gray Boy held by Jack R. Cropper (Jack Cropper card) POBox 1978, Wickenbrug, Arizona 85358 covers the property. KAP WR 5/1/87: A specimen of vein material from the Lost Sparniard Mine (file) Maricopa County which was obtained to check for fluorescence does not exhibit any fluorescence. The specimen did contain smears of orange-yellow lead and zinc oxide minrals. No crystaline specimens were found.

Collecting for its own sake adds nothing to a person's understanding of the world about him. Learning to recognize minerals is only a beginning. The real satisfaction in mineralogy is in gaining knowledge of the ways in which minerals are formed in the earth, of the chemistry of the minerals and of the ways atoms are packed together to form crystals.

  • Mottramite, Descloizite, and Vanadinite) in the Caldbeck Area of Cumberland
    289 New occurrences of vanadium minerals (mottramite, descloizite, and vanadinite) in the Caldbeck area of Cumberland. By ART~VR W. G. KINGSBURu F.G.S., Dept. of Geology and Mineralogy, University Museum, Oxford, and J. HARTLnY, B.Sc., F.G.S., Dept. of Geology, University of Leeds. [Taken as read 10 June 1954.] Summary.--Four new occurrences of vanadium minerals are described. New X-ray powder data are given for descloizite and mottramite, and show appreciable differences. Evidence is brought that the original occurrence of mottramite was not at Mottram St. Andrew, Cheshire, but Pim Hill, Shropshire, and that most if not all specimens labelled Mottram St. Andrew or Cheshire really came from Pim Hill. ANADIUM minerals are rare in the British Isles, and only two V species, mottramite (Cu, Zn)PbV0tOH and vanadinite Pbs(VO4)aC1, have so far been recorded from a limited number of localities. We do not include the vanadiferous nodules from Budleigh Salterton in Devon, as the vanadiferous mineral has not been identified. Mottramite, supposedly from Mottram St. Andrew in Cheshire, was first described in 1876,1 but we have evidence (below, p. 293) that the locality was in fact Pim Hill in Shropshire. ~ Vanadinite has so far only been found at Leadhills and Wanlockhead in Scotland. Vauquelinite has been de- scribed from Leadhills and Wanlockhead,a but the specimens have since been shown to be mottramite. 4 As a result of our investigations in the Lake District, we have found several new localities in the Caldbeck area for raottramite, deseloizite, and vanadinite.

  • The Minerals of Tasmania
    THE MINERALS OF TASMANIA. By W. F. Petterd, CM Z.S. To the geologist, the fascinating science of mineralogy must always be of the utmost importance, as it defines with remarkable exactitude the chemical constituents and com- binations of rock masses, and, thus interpreting their optical and physical characters assumed, it plays an important part part in the elucidation of the mysteries of the earth's crust. Moreover, in addition, the minerals of a country are invari- ably intimately associated with its industrial progress, in addition to being an important factor in its igneous and metamorphic geology. In this dual aspect this State affords a most prolific field, perhaps unequalled in the Common- wealth, for serious consideration. In this short article, I propose to review the subject of the mineralogy of this Island in an extremely concise manner, the object being, chiefly, to afford the members of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science a cursory glimpse into Nature's hidden objects of wealth, beauty, and scientific interest. It will be readily understood that the restricted space at the disposal of the writer effectually prevents full justice being done to an absorbing subject, which is of almost universal interest, viewed from the one or the other aspect. The economic result of practical mining operations, as carried on in this State, has been of a most satisfactory character, and has, without doubt, added greatly to the national wealth ; but, for detailed information under this head, reference must be made to the voluminous statistical information, and the general progress, and other reports, issued by the Mines Department of the local Government.

  • A Specific Gravity Index for Minerats
    A SPECIFICGRAVITY INDEX FOR MINERATS c. A. MURSKyI ern R. M. THOMPSON, Un'fuersityof Bri.ti,sh Col,umb,in,Voncouver, Canad,a This work was undertaken in order to provide a practical, and as far as possible,a complete list of specific gravities of minerals. An accurate speciflc cravity determination can usually be made quickly and this information when combined with other physical properties commonly leads to rapid mineral identification. Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ). A more recent list by Hurlbut (Dana's Manuatr of M,i,neral,ogy,LgE2) is incomplete and others are limited to rock forming minerals,Trdger (Tabel,l,enntr-optischen Best'i,mmungd,er geste,i,nsb.ildend,en M,ineral,e, 1952) and Morey (Encycto- ped,iaof Cherni,cal,Technol,ogy, Vol. 12, 19b4). In his mineral identification tables, smith (rd,entifi,cati,onand. qual,itatioe cherai,cal,anal,ys'i,s of mineral,s,second edition, New york, 19bB) groups minerals on the basis of specificgravity but in each of the twelve groups the minerals are listed in order of decreasinghardness. The present work should not be regarded as an index of all known minerals as the specificgravities of many minerals are unknown or known only approximately and are omitted from the current list. The list, in order of increasing specific gravity, includes all minerals without regard to other physical properties or to chemical composition. The designation I or II after the name indicates that the mineral falls in the classesof minerals describedin Dana Systemof M'ineralogyEdition 7, volume I (Native elements, sulphides, oxides, etc.) or II (Halides, carbonates, etc.) (L944 and 1951).

Wnrrnrus, Phelps Dod.geCorporation, Western E*ploralion Ofi,ce,Douglos, Arizona. ABSTRACT Wickenburgite, PbsAlzCaSiroOzr(OH)e,is a new mineral lound in abundance at several prospects near Wickenburg, Arizona. It is an oxide zone mineral derived from lead ores and occurs with phoenicochroite, mimetite, cerussite, and willemite. The mineral is well crystallized to granular; white, colorless, or rarely pink, and has a vitreous luster. The hardness is 5, G:3.85 (meas); 3.88 (calc.). FluorescesduII orange in short wave a.o. Crystals show dihexagonal dipyramidal symmetry, are tabular, and dominated by [0001] and {1011}. The axial ratio is a:c:l:2.354 (morph.) and.a:c:1:2.363 with o:8.53 A and c:20.16 A derived from the refined powder data. Z:2. Morphological and Weissenberg data establish the space group as P6zf mmc. The strongest Iines are 10.085 A (10),5.e62 (3);5.043 (3),3.392 (6),3.3ss (4),3.2s7 (8),2.79r (3), and 2.6s9 (4). Crystalsare uniaxial(-) with eo:1.6480,oo:1.6918. Dispersion of the indices (z>1) is moderate. No previously established species are likely to be confused with wickenburgite with the exccption of belmontite (?). INrnonucrrow The new mineral has been found in abundanceat several Iocalities south of Wickenburg, Maricopa County, Arizona. The speciesis named for the locality. The type locality is the Potter-Cramer property which is near the sectioncorner common to sections13,14,23, and 24,T4N, R7W Belmont Mountains 15' quadrangle.Wickenburgite is abundant here as veins in outcrop near the collar of a steeply inclined shaft.
