  • A Preliminary Note. the Specimen Showed Exceedingly Small Needle-Shaped White Crystals, at Most 0.5 M.M
    HJ. SJOGREN. a preliminary note. The specimen showed exceedingly small needle-shaped white crystals, at most 0.5 m.m. in length, implanted in small cavities in black, massive hausmannite. Under the microscope the crystals were found to be formed in the shape of hexagonal prisms oc P (1010) terminating only in the. basal plane oP (0001) (Fig. 10, PI. V.), the prismatic faces were definitely striated in the direction of the axis. A section vertical to the axis shows an uniaxial image with negative character. Also a decided zone structure is observable (Fig. I I, PI. V). A qualitative anal- ysis of a very minute quantity of material proved As20, and CaO to be present and so the identity with svabite was regarded as fixed. The Harstigen crystals allow of an accurate determination of their crystallographical form, while their constitution could not exactly be fixed, on account of the small quantity of material employed for the analysis. On the other hand, the mineral from Jakobsberg, which was not crystal- lized, allowed of a complete and exact determination of its chemical for- mula. So there can now be no doubt as to the constitution and syste- matical relations of the mineral. The mineral is named after the eminent Swedish mineralogist and metallurgist of last century »Bergsrad» Anton Sv AB. Chayactt'Ys. Hexagonal, probably pyramidal hemihedral; a: c = 1 : 0.7143. Isomorphous with apatite etc. Cleavage oo P, imperfect. In crystals of prismatic habit (Harstigen and Jakobsberg) and massive (ja- kobsberg) H = 5. G = 3.52 (Harstigen) or 3.77 - 3.82 (Pb-bearing, Ja- kobsberg).

  • 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 Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ).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).

  • Introduction to Apatites
    Chapter 1 Introduction to Apatites Petr Ptáček Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/62208 Abstract Apatite is the generic name, which was first introduced by German geologist A.G. Werner. These minerals and their synthetic analogs represent a major class of ionic compounds and the most common crystalline form of calcium phosphates, which are of interest of many industrial branches and scientific disciplines. Since, apatite (fluora‐ patite) is the most abundant phosphate mineral, apatite bearing phosphate rocks represents an important source of inorganic phosphorus. First chapter of this book introduces the basic concepts of nomenclature, composition, classification, crystal structure, mineralogy and properties of minerals from the supergroup of apatite. Furthermore, the minerals from the group of apatite and polysomatic apatites are described. Since, the most of the topics mentioned in this chapter will be developed in the following chapters, the key concepts provided in this chapter are important to understood before proceeding further. Keywords: Apatite, Group of Apatite, Polysomatic Apatites, Fluorapatite, Hydroxyla‐ patite, Chlorapatite, Vanadinite The minerals1 [1],[2],[3],[4],[5] from the apatite group2 [6] are classified as hexagonal or pseudo‐ hexagonal monoclinic anhydrous phosphates containing hydroxyl or halogen of the generic formula3: 1Minerals are individual components comprising rocks formed by geological processes classified according to their crystal structure and chemical composition. The total number of minerals accepted by mineralogical community is about 4000. Mineraloids are mineral-like phases including synthetic materials, human-treated substances, and some biological materials, which do not fulfill the criteria for the definition of mineral species [2].

  • Vanadium-Bearing Interlava Sediment from The
    VANADIUM-BEARING INTERLAVA SEDIMENT FROM THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA, BRITISH COLUMBIA BY JOHN LESLIE JAMBOR B.A. University of British Columbia, 1957 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE In the Department of Geology We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1960 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission-. Department of The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 3, Canada. Date CfMJ X?. ABSTRACT Vanadium is concentrated in laminated, black carbonaceous, siliceous sedimentary rocks at Menzies Bay and Quadra Island, Campbell River area, British Columbia. The vanadiferous rocks are intercalated with amygdaloidal, porphyritic basalts, andesites, and spilites, many of which are pillowform. The writer has correlated the Menzies Bay, Vancouver Island, flows with the Upper Triassic Texada formation volcanic rocks of Quadra Island. A limited petrographic study of the Texada flows in the area has indicated that pumpellyite is copious and widely distributed. Amygdaloidal greenockite is present in trace amounts. The identification of pumpellyite,re• garded as amphibole by earlier writers, marks its first occurrence in British Columbia. In a detailed study of the mineralization assoc• iated with the vanadiferous sedimentary rocks, the first British Columbian occurrences were noted for tenorite, brochantite, and cyanotrichite.

Vanadiocarpholite is found as millimetric aggregates of acicular crystals associated with coatings and crystals of dark-green volborthite and quartz; rarely strongly elongated [001] pris- matic crystals up to 400 µm are also found. The crystals vary in colour from honey yellow-brown and brown (prismatic crystals) to pale straw-yellow (acicular crystal aggregates); they are brittle (prismatic crystals) to flexible (acicular crystals), transparent and non-fluorescent, with vitreous to silky lustre (prismatic crystals and acicular crystal aggregates, respectively) and nearly white streak; they show a perfect {010} cleavage; parting and twinning were not observed. The empirical formula of vanadiocarpholite, 2+ 3+ derived from microprobe analyses and structural refinement, approaches the ideal formula, Mn V Al(Si2O6)(OH)4; however, a wide compositional range is detected, mainly due to a solid solution with carpholite (V3+ vs Al substitution). X-ray single crystal data give the refined cell parameters a = 13.830(2) Å, b = 20.681(3) Å, c = 5.188(1) Å and V = 1483.86 Å3 in the space group Ccca.

Jagannadha (2005) Spectroscopic characterization of chromite from the Moa-Baracoa Ophiolitic Massif, Cuba. Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy 61(8):1721-1728. Copyright 2005 Elsevier This is the authors’ version of the work. ABSTRACT The mineral conichalcite from Bagdad mine- West of, Bagdad, Eureka District, Yavapai Co., Arizona, USA has been characterised by electronic, Near-IR, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. SEM micrographs show the mineral consists of bundles of fibres. Calculations of the EDX analyses on the stoichiometric basis show the substitution of arsenate by 12 wt % of phosphate in the 3- mineral. Raman and infrared bands are assigned in terms of the fundamental modes of AsO4 and 3- PO4 molecules and are related to the mineral structure. Near-IR reflectance spectroscopy shows the presence of adsorbed water and hydroxyl units in the mineral. The Cu(II) coordination polyhedron in conichalcite can have at best pseudo-tetragonal geometry. The crystal field and tetragonal field parameters of Cu(II) complex were calculated and found to agree well with the values reported for known tetragonal distortion octahedral complexes.

    JOURNAL MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA 379 NOTES AND NEWS The British Museum of Natural History has purchased a magnifcent crystal of beryl (aquamarine) of gem quality. It is 13 cm. high, has a diameter of 10-12 cm, and weighs 2505 grams. The beryl comes from Brazil. This gem is exceptional both for its size and for the perfection of its crystal developmenr. According to tests recently made by A. Mallock and reported in Nature, indium is the hardest pure metal followed by molybdenum, tungsten and rhodium. Nickel is the hardest of the common metals and ranks fifth. The Oklahoma State College conferred the honorary degree of doctor of science upon Professor W. A. Tarr, professor of geology at the University of Missouri and a member of the Council of The Mineralogical Society of America. According to Science Dr. Henry S. Washington, of the Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution, has been nominated by the Italian government an officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy and has received from the Italian am- bassador the cross of the order in recognition of his work on the rocks and volcanoes of Italv.
