Both minerals are triclinic, their structures are closely related to the parent structure, i.e. the 'tsumcorite type' (C2/m, Z = 2). The lower symmetry is caused by two different crysta,l-ch~mical requirements.

  • 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.

  • Cu-Rich Members of the Beudantite–Segnitite Series from the Krupka Ore District, the Krušné Hory Mountains, Czech Republic
    Journal of Geosciences, 54 (2009), 355–371 DOI: 10.3190/jgeosci.055 Original paper Cu-rich members of the beudantite–segnitite series from the Krupka ore district, the Krušné hory Mountains, Czech Republic Jiří SeJkOra1*, Jiří ŠkOvíra2, Jiří ČeJka1, Jakub PláŠIl1 1 Department of Mineralogy and Petrology, National museum, Václavské nám. 68, 115 79 Prague 1, Czech Republic; [email protected] 2 Martinka, 417 41 Krupka III, Czech Republic * Corresponding author Copper-rich members of the beudantite–segnitite series (belonging to the alunite supergroup) were found at the Krupka deposit, Krušné hory Mountains, Czech Republic. They form yellow-green irregular to botryoidal aggregates up to 5 mm in size. Well-formed trigonal crystals up to 15 μm in length are rare. Chemical analyses revealed elevated Cu contents up 2+ to 0.90 apfu. Comparably high Cu contents were known until now only in the plumbojarosite–beaverite series. The Cu 3+ 3+ 2+ ion enters the B position in the structure of the alunite supergroup minerals via the heterovalent substitution Fe Cu –1→ 3– 2– 3 (AsO4) (SO4) –1 . The unit-cell parameters (space group R-3m) a = 7.3265(7), c = 17.097(2) Å, V = 794.8(1) Å were determined for compositionally relatively homogeneous beudantite (0.35 – 0.60 apfu Cu) with the following average empirical formula: Pb1.00(Fe2.46Cu0.42Al0.13Zn0.01)Σ3.02 [(SO4)0.89(AsO3OH)0.72(AsO4)0.34(PO4)0.05]Σ2.00 [(OH)6.19F0.04]Σ6.23. Interpretation of thermogravimetric and infrared vibrational data is also presented. The Cu-rich members of the beudan- tite–segnitite series are accompanied by mimetite, scorodite, pharmacosiderite, cesàrolite and carminite.
