The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SKI. NORSTEDTS TRYCKERI AB Stockholm 1996 SUMMARY. Formation of copper minerals in a "future repository site environment" is discussed. Since reducing conditions are expected much effort has been concentrated on Cu-sulphides and CuFe-sulphides. However, oxidizing conditions are also discussed. A list of copper minerals are included. It is concluded that mineral formation and mineral transitions on the copper canister surface will be governed by kinetics and metastabilities rather than by stability relations. The sulphides formed are less likely to form a passivating layer, and the rate of sulphide growth will probably be governed by the rate of transport of reacting species to the cansiter surface. A series of tests are recommended, in a milieu resembling the initial repository site conditions. SAMMANFATTNING. Bildning av kopparmineral i en framtida slutförvarsmiljö diskuteras. Eftersom reducerande betingelser kan förväntas har Cu-sulfider och CuFe-sulfider getts stor plats, men även oxiderande betingelser diskuteras.

Anthonyite is monoclinic 2/m with aibic:.6898i1:.4271and 9:ll2o38'; good {100} cleavage.a:1.526, A:1.ffi2, y:1.ffi2.2V is 3o, and the mineral is pleochroic with Y and Z a deepsmoky blue and X lavender;Z:y>X.

Calumetite is optically orthorhombic but no single crystals were found' a:1.666, 9:1.690, t:1.690 with a 2V of 2o. Crystals are feebly pleochroic in blue with Z>y>X. H:2, brittle; good {001} cleavage. Chemical analysis gave: Cu M.l, C15.3, AgCi 0.17, OH+HzO+ 33.5, and HzO+ 16.9/s; the probableformula is Cu(OH, Cl)z.2HzOwith (OH): (Cl):8.28:1. Anthonyite is named for John W. Anthony, Associate Professor of Geology, University of Arizona. Calumetite is named for the town near the type iocality, Calumet, Michigan' OccunnBNcB Recently Robert H. Dean brought the writer a specimenof a blue min- eral from the Centennial mine, Calumet, Michigan which be believed was not azurite,but rather somethingunusual.

    New Acquisitions to the Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences

    New Data on Minerals. M., 2004. Vol. 39 147 UDK 549:069 NEW ACQUISITIONS TO THE FERSMAN MINERALOGICAL MUSEUM, RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 2002–2003 Dmitriy I. Belakovskiy, Fersman Mineralogical Museum, RAS, email: [email protected]; website: http://www.fmm.ru A total of 1,356 new mineral specimens were cataloged into the Fersman Mineralogical Museum main collec- tions during the period 2002 to 2003. These specimens represent 640 different mineral species from 62 coun- tries. Among these, 285 are new species for the Museum, including 10 species that were discovered by Museum staff members and 40 species that were discovered during this period by others. Of the minerals obtained, 54 are either type specimens or fragments of type specimens or cotypes. By the end of 2003 the num- ber of valid mineral species in the Museum reached 2,910. Of the newly acquired items, approximately 51% were donated by 138 people and by 8 institutions, 18% were purchased, 15% specimens were collected by the Museum staff, 12% were exchanged with collectors and other museums, 3% were acquired as type specimens and 1% obtained in other ways. A review of the new acquisitions is presented by mineral species, geography, acquisition type, and source. The review is accompanied by a list of new species for the Museum along with a list of species that the Museum desires to obtain. A total of 1356 specimens were cataloged of the Museum’s major collections in years into the Museum’s five main collections1 in the 2002 and 2003. Specimens that had not, at that years 2002–2003.
