The locality is Gold Hill (Howard district), Ochoco Creek area, northeastern part of Crook County, central Oregon. The matrix of the specimenssubmitted was largely carbonatel calcite, manganian dolomite with <,r index : 1.690-1.693,and calcianrhodochrosite with a:1.783. One specimencontained a few hair-like metallic crystals, which break when bent, probably due to a basal . They are provisionally assigned to jamesonite and the following measurements were obtained on one of the thicker hair-like crystals.

A few of the hair-like crystals, however, were very flexible and could easily be bent double, showing the presenceof a second hair-like with no basal cleavage.The material seemsto correspond to the mixture of "feather ore" previously called warrenite, which, however, is a mixture of jamesonite and zinckenite, as previously describedby Schaller (1911).

651 652 THE A MERICAN M I NERA LOGIST

A single prismatic crystal of another mineral, provisionally referred to andorite and describedin the following paper, was found on one speci- men. Other minerals present are: aragonite, , , and two other metallic minerals, one lead-gray and another prismatic dark reddish-black, which could not be identified on account of the naucitv of material. Apparently this locality might yield several of the rarer silver sulpho- salts and anyone having accessto the locality should make a careful searchfor well crystallized minerals of this character. A number of small non-metallic crystals in one of the cavities of a specimen proved to be valentinite, antimony oxide, Sb2O3,and their goniometric measurements showed a large number of crystal forms, many of them new. They are described on the following pages.

VALENTINITE The optical properties and chemical reactions of these crystals are typically those of valentinite. The optical axial planes for red and blue light are normal to each other and the negative axial angle is small, with strong dispersion. The doubly terminated crystals are small, about a millimeter in length, and have no attraction as specimens.They would probably pass unnoticed unless one was making a detailed examination of the mineralogy of the material.

Axral Rarro

The a-axis is calculated from the average measured { angles of the prisms of the seven measuredcrystals. The measurementsfor Bl340l and C{450} are omitted as they show much greater divergencefrom the calculated angles than do those of the other prisms. Likewise, those prisms whose s angle is very large (greater than 81o) are also omitted as they are too close to {100} to yield ratios of comparative value. The c-axis is calculated from the average measurementsof the p angle of the new sidedome Z{0.11.8}.The axial ratio so obtainedis a:b:c:0.393O: 1:0.4350. This ratio is close to those recently given by other authors, as follows:

a:b:c Spencer (1907): 0.3938:1:0.4344 Ungemachl (1912): 0.3928:7:0.4333 Cesdro(1925): 0.3952:l:0.4342 Schaller: 0. 3930:1 :0 .4350

1 ungemach gave the axial ratio as 0.3936: 1 : 0.4339. According to a personal communica- tion from Prof. Palache (June 9, 1936), cesdro, in a note, calls attention to an error in these values The correct ratio is: 0.3928:1:04333. JOURNAL MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA 653

The average of these four values gives the axial ratio of valentinite as aib:c:0.3939: 1 :0.4339.

Fonus exo ANcrBs A total of 22 forms were found on the 7 crystals measured. These in- clude the two pinacoids o{100} and b{010}, nineteen prisms of which 15 are new for valentinite, and the new side dome f 10.11.81.

The closestcalculated angle for a simple form is that for {043} a form not listed for valentinite, but not a single one of the 13 measurements is as low as 30o03' though two measurements approach this value. As the last column in the preceding table shows, the differences between the measuredangles and 30"03'are considerable.The difierencesbetween the average measured angle for T and the nearest known forms, {065} and [ 032] , are also considerable.

DrscussroNol Pnrsu ZouB The following discussion of the prism zone follows the well known method of Goldschmidt's comparison with normal series. It not only served to confirm the correctnessof the indices of many of the new prisms but it has been of greatest value in deciding the correct indices of three of the new prisms with more complex indices. The poor reflections obtained from most of these new prisms with a consequent considerablevariation in the measured angles do not suffice, alone, to correctly determine the indices. Including the two pinacoids D{010} and o{100} there ate now 26 forms in this zone, including the two given by Cesbro(1925)' This zone consistsnaturally oI two sectionsextending from 6{010} to mlll}l and Irom m,l110| to o[100]. In the first sectionfrom 6 to m,the $ anglesof the forms difier from adjacent ones by many degreesexcept for the two forms B{340} and C{450}, where the differenceis only lo29'. B:utfor the second section from m to o, the forms are closely crowded together and are about one degree apart. 658 THE AMEMCAN MINERAINGIST

The most complicated indices of all the new forms here described are thoseof 11{1a.9.0}.The discussionshows however that theseindices readily fall into the normal series. simpler indices which suggest them- selvesare {320}, [850], and {11.7.0}.The comparisonof measuredand calculated anglesis as follows. o H , average measured 75"48', Calculated for { 850 } 76r0 {11.7.0 } /o 5() {14.e.0} 7< L7 I32ol lJ tl

Of the eight measuredfaces of 11,one (7 5'2O,) agreesvery closely with the calculatedvalue for {320}ltwo agree very closely with the carcu- lated value for {850}, and two agreeclosely with the calculatedvarue for {11.7.0}.As all the reflectionsmeasured were poor, there is no justifica- tion for claiming that the measurements show four distinct forms in- stead of one. The only question is as to the correct indices of this form. And according to the measurements, the only question is between {14.9.0} and {11.7.0}. The measurementsalone are not sufficientto de- cide this question as the following comparison shows. The difierences (A) between the measurementsand the calculated anglesfor {14.9.0} and f 11.7.0|are as follows:

There is practically no choice, the measurements agreeing about as well with one as with the other. The discussionhowever shows that {11.7.0} reduces to $ for /y'a.

The discussion therefore shows that the correct indices f.ot H are {14.9.0}, a lact which cannot be determined from the measurements alone. Although the form 1({950} is extra in both Iy'r and ly'3,it causesno disturbance in the normal seriesand the measurementsof the five faces of K, three of which agree closely with the calculated value, fully sub- stantiate this form.

The crystal was Iost when it was attempted to apply micro- chemical tests. A striated prism zone, terminated essentially only by side domes, giving poor reflections, made it impossible to decide whether the sym- metry was orthorhombic or monoclinic. An extended comparison of the measured.angles with those listed in the literature supplemented by a comparison of the habit with those of possibleminerals, as given by Gold- schmidt's Atlas d,er Krystallformen, lead to the conclusion that the measured crystal was either andorite, 2PbS.AgzS.3SbsSr,or freiesle- benite, 3Pbs.2Agrs.2Sbzss,with a considerablepreference for andorite. A total of 40 faces were measured, of which about half could be cor- related with 13 forms of andorite and with 15 forms of freieslebenite. The facesmeasured are listed below in the order of measurement,with the corresponding forms and angles for andorite and for freieslebenite. No attempt was made to interpret the measurements of these prism faces(nos. 7,g,17,23,26,and 34) for which no agreementcould be noted with the known forms of either andorite or freieslebenite.

a Form not known for andorite. b Form not known for freieslebenite.

Faces number 39 and 40 are extremely minutel they appear as mere bright specks on the goniometer but gave distinct though poor reflec- tions. The measurementsagree fairly well with the calculated values for pyramids of fairly simple indices for both andorite and freieslebenite, though none of these pyramids are known forms for either mineral. Grouping the measurementsof faces of the known forms together, on the assumption that the crystal measured was andorjte, the results shown in the following table are obtained. The closest corresponding angle for freieslebeniteis added to the last column. JOURNAL MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA 665

A closer agreement of the measured prism angles with those of freies- lebenite can be obtained by turning the measured crystal 90o around the c-axis, though then there is no agreement between the dome faces.

An idealized drawing of the crystal is shown in Figure 2. The faces of the unit prism ml 110] are drawn as distinct faces, whereas actually they are rounded and strongly striated vertically. The forms |-l20l , {230]1,{110}, {430}, and {320} are the common prisms, each occurring with at least three faces. The lower portions of both faces of y{031 } are striated. The crystal from the Ochocodistrict resemblesin generalhabit Figure 2 of andorite and Figure 17 of freieslebenite, as listed in Goldschmidt,s A tlas d,erKry stallformen. The absenceof any pinacoids (the measurement of face No. 5, with O:87"24' does not necessarily demonstrate the occurrence of {100}) favors the reference to freieslebenite, for andorite crystals commonly have pinacoids present, especially the side pinacoid ,{010}. Thus, in the 15 combinations listed by Koch (1928) D is present on every crystal of andorite as it likewise is in the five drawings listed in Goldschmidt's Atlas der Krystallformen. Faces of D[010] are frequently absent on crystals of f reieslebenite. The generally better agreement of the measured angles with those of andorite, however, would seem to favor the reference of the measured crystal to andorite. Additional and better material, though, needs to be examined before a definite identification can be made.
