P. FISCHER and JANE P. 0HL INTRODUCTION PURPOSE AND SCOPE This bibliography, which contains nearly 1,400 bibliographic references, was compiled to aid studies on the geology and resources of vanadium. It covers literature published through 1967 and contains references to a few papers published in the early part of 1968. Most references included are to original sources of information on the distribution and occurrence of vanadium-bearing deposits, on the geochemical relations of vanadium in rocks and deposits, and on vanadium mineralogy; some references on the exploitation and metallurgical treatment of vanadium source materials are also included. The following paragraphs summarize the geologic distribution of vanadium and briefly explain the arrangement of the bibliographic references and the index, in order to help a student understand the organization of the index and to guide him in its use. A list of vanadium minerals and their chemical formulas is included. GEOLOGIC DISTRIBUTION OF VANADIUM Vanadium averages about 150 parts per million (ppm) in the Earth's crust; it is more abundant than copper, lead, or zinc. Silicic igneous rocks have an average content of about 50 ppm vanadium, whereas the mafic rocks commonly contain 100-200 ppm. Sandstone and limestone normally contain only about 20 ppm vanadium, but ordinary shale generally has almost as much vanadium as the mafic igneous rocks and carbonaceous shale commonly has even more. Vanadium generally does not occur as an essential part of any rock­ forming mineral; rather, in igneous rocks the vanadium ions replace those of iron and aluminum in the common iron and ferromagnesian minerals, and in sedimentary rocks the vanadium is mainly associated with clay minerals or organic matter. Magmatic and pyrometasomatic ore deposits associated with mafic igneous rocks are commonly enriched in vanadium-most titaniferous magnetite deposits contain nearly 0.5 percent V20 5 (about 0.3 percent vanadium or 3,000 ppm), and some contain 1,72 to 2 percent V205; non-titaniferous magnet.ite deposits commonly contain about 0.1 to v VI BIBLIOGRAPHY OF VANADIUM GEOLOGY 0.2 percent V205 ; and some chromite deposits contain about 0.1 percent V205• Most ore deposits of hypogene hydrothermal origin contain only sparse amounts of vanadium; indeed, many hypogene ores contain less vanadium than the average crustal abundance. On the other hand, vanadium does accumulate in some gold-bearing veins, espe­ ciaJly those containing gold tellurides, and in some titanium-bearing veins a few tenths of a percent V205 is common. Residual deposits rich in aluminum and iron, such as bauxites and laterites, commonly contain about 0.1 percent V20 5• Some sedimentary deposits are enriched syngenetically in vanadium. Many sedimentary iron ores contain about 0.1 percent V205• Some organic-rich shale contains 1 percent or more V20 5 • Some deposits of phosphate rock contain a few tenths of a percent V20 5, but most phosphate deposits have a much lower vanadium content. Vanadium is commonly the principal trace element in petroleum, especially asphalt-base oils; the ash of some crude oils contains more than 10 percent V205, as does the ash of some natura) asphaltites and refinery residues derived from oils of this type. Coal, on the other hand, is usually low in vanadium. Four geologic types of productive vanadium deposits are of epi­ genetic origin, but the source of vanadium and its manner of emplace­ ment in these deposits are uncertain. These types are the vanadium­ uranium deposits in sandstone; the somewhat similar deposits of the same metals in limestone; the deposits of base-metal vanadate minerals in the oxidized zones of copper, lead, and zinc deposits; and a recently discovered deposit in the zone of alteration at the contact of an alkalic intrusion. The vanadium content of ores from these deposits ranges from 1 to 2 percent V20 5• BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES Each bibliographic reference is listed alphabetically under the author's last name or the last name of the first author. Each reference includes the title of the article, the publication source, and the year published. The names of most serial publications are abbreviated in the bibliographic references and are listed alphabetically, both in abbreviated form and in full, in the accompanying serial list. Titles of articles published in foreign languages using the Roman alphabet · are given both in the original language and in English trans] ation; those using the Cyri11ic alphabet are transliterated (using the style of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names) and translated. However, only translations are given for original titles that are unusually long. For titles of articles in Oriental languages, only translations are given. Most title translations were taken from journals that regularly publish abstracts of scientific articles. INTRODUCTION VII Brief annotations are given with many references whose titles do not indicate the subject matter relative to vanadium. For example, the entry "Davidson, D. F. Selenium.in some oxidized sandstone­ type uranium deposits: U.S. Geol. Survey Bull. 1162-C, p. C1-C33, 1963" is accompanied by an annotation saying: "Includes data on the amount and occurrence of vanadium in many of the deposits described." A reference such as "Balsley, J. R., Jr. Vanadium-bearing magnetite-ilmenite deposits near Lake Sanford, Esse"!{ County, New York: U.S. Geol. Survey Bull. 940-D, p. 99-123, 1943" is not anno­ tated. For a significant article published in a language other than English, or in a publication that is not available in many libraries, a more detailed annotation is given than in other cases, even though the title of the article may reveal the general subject matter rela.tive to vanadium, or a reference is made to an abstracting journal if one of these published an informative abstract. Journals of this type include Annotated Bibliography of Economic Geology, Bibliography and Index of Geology Exclusive of North America, Chemical Ab­ stracts, Mineralogical Abstracts, and N eues J ahrbuch fiir Mineralogie, Geologie, und Palaontologie. Not all publications that contain information on the geologic occurrence of vanadium are included by reference in this bibliography. References to textbooks on mineral deposits and to summary or review articles are not included unless they contain some significant information on vanadium. Abstracts of papers presented at scientific meetings are not included if references to later publication of these papers are given. Also excluded are reports that merely mention the occurrence of vanadium minerals or deposits in areas where vanadium deposits are numerous and well described in the literature cited. Such areas include southwestern United States, where the oxidized zones of many deposits of copper, lead, and zinc contain mineralogic occur­ rences of base-metal vanadates, and the Colorado Plateau region, where vanadium-uranium deposits in sandstone are numerous. On the other hand, references are included to reports that only mention similar occurrences in areas that are not known to contain abundant vanadium deposits or minerals, in order to record these occurrences. In rec,ent years, many articles have been published on the trace­ element content of rock types or geologic environments, but only a small proportion of those that contain data on vanadium are included in this bibliography. Those included are judged to be reasonably representative of that type of occurrence or they seem to emphasize some significant geochemical relation. Most of these references are indexed under the major heading "Geochemistry" and under the secondary headings "Abundance in ..." or "Elemental association in rocks and deposits." VIII BIBLIOGRAPHY OF VANADIUM GEOLOGY INDEX EXPLANATION Each bibliographic reference is indexed under one or more index sets, each set consisting of three orders of headings. Topical and geographic terms are used for these headings. AH references relating to vanadium accumulations that might be of economic interest are indexed both topically and geographically; references to occurrences dominantly of scientific interest are judged to have no geographic significance and are inde"\.ed only under topical headings. References to productive vanadium deposits, and also to nonpro­ ductive occurrences

Kompanchenko Geological Institute of the Federal Research Centre “Kola Science Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences”, 14 Fersman Street, 184209 Apatity, Russia; [email protected]; Tel.: +7-921-048-8782 Received: 24 August 2020; Accepted: 21 September 2020; Published: 24 September 2020 Abstract: This work presents new data on a rare vanadium spinel group mineral, i.e., coulsonite FeV2O4 established in massive sulfide ores of the Bragino occurrence in the Kola region, Russia. Coulsonite in massive sulfide ores of the Bragino occurrence is one of the most common vanadium minerals. Three varieties of coulsonite were established based on its chemical composition, some physical properties, and mineral association: coulsonite-I, coulsonite-II, and coulsonite-III. Coulsonite-I forms octahedral crystal clusters of up to 500 µm, and has a uniformly high content of 2 Cr2O3 (20–30 wt.%), ZnO (up to 4.5 wt.%), and MnO (2.8 wt.%), high microhardness (743 kg/mm ) and coefficient of reflection. Coulsonite-II was found in relics of quartz–albite veins in association with other vanadium minerals. Its features are a thin tabular shape and enrichment in TiO2 of up to 18 wt.%. Coulsonite-III is the most common variety in massive sulfide ores of the Bragino occurrence. Coulsonite-III forms octahedral crystals of up to 150 µm, crystal clusters, and intergrowths with V-bearing ilmenite, W-V-bearing rutile, Sc-V-bearing senaite, etc. Chemical composition of coulsonite-III is characterized by wide variation of the major compounds—Fe, V, Cr.

Rossman Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125-2500, U.S.A. grr@ gps.caltech.edu INTRODUCTION Optical spectroscopy is concerned with the measurement of the absorption, reflection and emission of light in the near-ultraviolet (-250 nm) through the mid-infrared ( -3000 nm) portions of the spectrum. The human interface to the geological and mineralogical world is primarily visual. Optical spectroscopy is, in particular, well suited to investigating the origin of color in minerals. The reflection spectroscopy of minerals has been motivated to a large extent by interest in remote sensing. Emission spectra are usually studied in reference to luminescence phenomena. Studies of mineral color, metal ion site occupancy, oxidation states and concentrations have generally been done with absorption spectroscopy. This chapter concentrates on single crystal absorption spectroscopy. Absorption of light by crystals can occur for a number of reasons. For many minerals, the presence of ions of transition elements (e.g., Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) in their various oxidation states is the cause of light absorption. In some minerals, the individual ions cause the light absorption while in others it is the interaction between ions such as between Fe2+ and Fe3+ that causes color. In some minerals, rare-earth elements are an important source of color. 2 Some minerals are colored by small molecular units involving metal ions (UOl+, Cr04 -) or anions (S 3- in sodalites). Many sulfide minerals such as cinnabar (HgS) and realgar (As4S4) owe their color to band gaps in the semiconducting sulfides.

  • Cavansite, a Calcium and Vanadium Silicate of Formula Ca(VO)(Si4o1o
    .. ,., Cavansite, a calcium and vanadium silicate of formula Ca(VO)(Si4O1o).4H.P, occurs as sky-blue to greenish-blue radiating prismatic rosettes up to~mm in size associated with its dimorph, pentagonite, in a roadcut near Lake Owyhee State Park in Malheur County, Oregon. Discovery of these two minerals is attributed to Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Perrigo of Fruitland, Idaho, (at this locality in 1961), and to Dr. John Cowles at the Goble locality in 1963 (see below). Associated with the cavansite and pentagonite are abundant colorless analcime, stilbite, chabazite, thomsonite and heulandite, as well as colorless to pale yellow calcite, and rare green or colorless apophyllite. This occurence and a similar emplacement (of cavansite only) near Goble, Columbia County, Oregon (co-type localities), represent the only known deposits of these two minerals in the United States. As determined by X-ray fluorescense and crystal stfiucture analysis, cavansite is orthorhombic, conforms to space group Pcmn (D2h 6), has a unit cell with a=lO.298(4), b=l3.999(7), c=9.6O1(2) Angstroms, contains four formula units, is optically biaxial positive and strongly pleochroic. Pentagonite, the dimorph, occurs as prismatic crystals twinned to form fivelings with a star­ shaped cross section. Also orthorhombic, it belongs to space group 12 Ccm21(C2v ), and has a unit cell with a=lO.298(4), b=13.999(7), and c=B.891(2) Angstroms, and also contains ··four formula units. The pentagonite crystals are optically very similar to cavansite, but are biaxially negative. The cell dimensions given tend to vary· to a small degree, presumably because of varying zeolitic water content.
