  • A Review of the Structural Architecture of Tellurium Oxycompounds

KAMPF 1 Research School of Earth Sciences and Department of Applied Mathematics, Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2 Geosciences, Museum Victoria, GPO Box 666, Melbourne, Victoria 3001, Australia 3 Mineral Sciences Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90007, USA [Received 24 November 2015; Accepted 23 February 2016; Associate Editor: Mark Welch] ABSTRACT Relative to its extremely low abundance in the Earth’s crust, tellurium is the most mineralogically diverse chemical element, with over 160 mineral species known that contain essential Te, many of them with unique crystal structures. We review the crystal structures of 703 tellurium oxysalts for which good refinements exist, including 55 that are known to occur as minerals. The dataset is restricted to compounds where oxygen is the only ligand that is strongly bound to Te, but most of the Periodic Table is represented in the compounds that are reviewed. The dataset contains 375 structures that contain only Te4+ cations and 302 with only Te6+, with 26 of the compounds containing Te in both valence states. Te6+ was almost exclusively in rather regular octahedral coordination by oxygen ligands, with only two instances each of 4- and 5-coordination. Conversely, the lone-pair cation Te4+ displayed irregular coordination, with a broad range of coordination numbers and bond distances.

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 Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ).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

  • Rongibbsite, Pb2(Si4al)O11(OH), a New Zeolitic Aluminosilicate Mineral with an Interrupted Framework from Maricopa County, Arizona, U.S.A
    American Mineralogist, Volume 98, pages 236–241, 2013 Rongibbsite, Pb2(Si4Al)O11(OH), a new zeolitic aluminosilicate mineral with an interrupted framework from Maricopa County, Arizona, U.S.A. HEXIONG YANG,* ROBERT T. DOWNS, STANLEY H. EVANS, ROBERT A. JENKINS, AND ELIAS M. BLOCH Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, 1040 East 4th Street, Tucson, Arizona 85721-0077, U.S.A. ABSTRACT A new zeolitic aluminosilicate mineral species, rongibbsite, ideally Pb2(Si4Al)O11(OH), has been found in a quartz vein in the Proterozoic gneiss of the Big Horn Mountains, Maricopa County, Arizona, U.S.A. The mineral is of secondary origin and is associated with wickenburgite, fornacite, mimetite, murdochite, and creaseyite. Rongibbsite crystals are bladed (elongated along the c axis, up to 0.70 × 0.20 × 0.05 mm), often in tufts. Dominant forms are {100}, {010}, {001}, and {101}. Twinning is common across (100). The mineral is colorless, transparent with white streak and vitreous luster. It is brittle and has a Mohs hardness of ∼5; cleavage is perfect on {100} and no parting was observed. 3 The calculated density is 4.43 g/cm . Optically, rongibbsite is biaxial (+), with nα = 1.690, nβ = 1.694, Z nγ = 1.700, c = 26°, 2Vmeas = 65(2)°. It is insoluble in water, acetone, or hydrochloric acid. Electron microprobe analysis yielded an empirical formula Pb2.05(Si3.89Al1.11)O11(OH). Rongibbsite is monoclinic, with space group I2/m and unit-cell parameters a = 7.8356(6), b = 13.913(1), c = 10.278(1) Å, β = 92.925(4)°, and V = 1119.0(2) Å3.

  • New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Rockhound Guide
    New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Socorro, New Mexico Information: 505-835-5420 Publications: 505-83-5490 FAX: 505-835-6333 A Division of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Dear “Rockhound” Thank you for your interest in mineral collecting in New Mexico. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has put together this packet of material (we call it our “Rockhound Guide”) that we hope will be useful to you. This information is designed to direct people to localities where they may collect specimens and also to give them some brief information about the area. These sites have been chosen because they may be reached by passenger car. We hope the information included here will lead to many enjoyable hours of collecting minerals in the “Land of Enchantment.” Enjoy your excursion, but please follow these basic rules: Take only what you need for your own collection, leave what you can’t use. Keep New Mexico beautiful. If you pack it in, pack it out. Respect the rights of landowners and lessees. Make sure you have permission to collect on private land, including mines. Be extremely careful around old mines, especially mine shafts. Respect the desert climate. Carry plenty of water for yourself and your vehicle. Be aware of flash-flooding hazards. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has a whole series of publications to assist in the exploration for mineral resources in New Mexico. These publications are reasonably priced at about the cost of printing. New Mexico State Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Bulletin 87, “Mineral and Water Resources of New Mexico,” describes the important mineral deposits of all types, as presently known in the state.

    MURDOCHITE, A NEW COPPER LEAD OXIDE MINERAL* Josnrn J. Fauov, U. S. GeotogicalSurtey, Washington 25, D. C. ABSTRACT Chemical analysis and r-ray structural studies (see following paper by C. L' Christ and J. R. Clark in this issue) establish as a new speciesa copper lead oxide from the Mammoth mine, Tiger, Ariz. The percentage composition, C;rtO67.24, PbOr 30.53, FezOs0.17, SiOz 0.05, and insoluble 1.11, yields the formula CuoPbOs.The specificgravity is 6.47 at4" C. The mineral forms in tiny lustrous black octahedra associated with wulfenite, dioptase, willemite, and fluorite. The new mineral was found by Percy W, Porter, now deceased, of Cavecreek, Ariz., and at his request it is named in honor of Professor Joseph Murdoch of the University of California at Los Angeles. INrnopucrrow The new mineral, murdochite, describedin this paper is an anhydrous oxide of copper and lead from the Mammoth mine, located at Tiger, Pinal County, Lriz.It has a composition that yields approximately the formula Cu6PbOsand occurs as tiny black opaque octahedra' of which the largest is less than one millimeter in the longest dimension. The late Percy W. Porter, a mining engineer of Cavecreek, Ariz., collected this mineral with many others from the Mammoth mine. Spending approxi- mately 300 hours and using a binocular microscope,he hand-picked the 401.5-mg.sample that he submitted for analysis. Mr. Porter requestedthat if the mineral was found to be a new species it be named in honor of Professor Joseph Murdoch of the University oI California at Los Angeles, in recognition of Professor Ulurdoch's many contributions to the scienceof mineralogy.
