  • PALLADIUM and PLATINUM MINERALS from the SERRA PELADA Au–Pd–Pt DEPOSIT, CARAJÁS MINERAL PROVINCE, NORTHERN BRAZIL
    1451 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 40, pp. 1451-1463 (2002) PALLADIUM AND PLATINUM MINERALS FROM THE SERRA PELADA Au–Pd–Pt DEPOSIT, CARAJÁS MINERAL PROVINCE, NORTHERN BRAZIL ALEXANDRE RAPHAEL CABRAL§ AND BERND LEHMANN Institut für Mineralogie und Mineralische Rohstoffe, Technische Universität Clausthal, Adolph-Roemer-Str. 2A, D–38678 Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany ROGERIO KWITKO-RIBEIRO Centro de Desenvolvimento Mineral, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, BR 262/ km 296, 33030-970 Santa Luzia – MG, Brazil CARLOS HENRIQUE CRAVO COSTA Diretoria de Metais Nobres, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, Caixa Postal 51, Serra dos Carajás, 68516-000 Parauabepas – PA, Brazil ABSTRACT The Serra Pelada garimpo (1980–1984) was the site of the most spectacular gold rush in recent history, but the mineralogy of the bonanza-style mineralization has not so far been documented in detail. Rediscovery of an early drill-core, recovered in 1982 from the near-surface lateritic portion of the garimpo area, has provided coarse-grained gold aggregates for this study. The centimeter-long aggregates of gold occur in powdery, earthy material. They exhibit a delicate arborescent fabric and are coated by goethite. Four compositional types of gold are recognized: palladian gold with an atomic ratio Au:Pd of 7:1 (“Au7Pd”), Hg- bearing palladian gold (Au–Pd–Hg), Pd-bearing gold with up to 3 wt.% Pd (Pd-poor gold) and pure gold. A number of platinum- group minerals (PGM) are included in, or attached to the surface of, palladian gold: “guanglinite”, Sb-bearing “guanglinite”, atheneite and isomertieite, including the noteworthy presence of Se-bearing PGM (Pd–Pt–Se, Pd–Se, Pd–Hg–Se and Pd–Bi–Se phases, and sudovikovite and palladseite).

  • THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE of Pb8o5(OH)2Cl4, a SYNTHETIC ANALOGUE of BLIXITE?
    515 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 44, pp. 515-522 (2006) THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF Pb8O5(OH)2Cl4, A SYNTHETIC ANALOGUE OF BLIXITE? SERGEY V. KRIVOVICHEV§ Department of Crystallography, St. Petersburg State University, University Emb. 7/9, RU–199034 St. Petersburg, Russia PETER C. BURNS Department of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556-0767, USA ABSTRACT The crystal structure of hydrothermally synthesized Pb8O5(OH)2Cl4 [monoclinic, C2/c, a 26.069(5), b 5.8354(11), c 22.736(4) 3 Å, ␤ 102.612(6)°, V 3375.3(11) Å ] has been determined and refi ned to R1 = 0.047 with data collected from a crystal twinned on (100). There are eight symmetrically independent Pb2+ cations in the structure, with each having a strongly distorted coordina- tion polyhedron due to the presence of stereochemically active pairs of s2 lone electrons on the Pb2+ cations. The structure is based upon [O5Pb8] sheets parallel to (100) formed by edge-sharing (OPb4) oxocentered tetrahedra. Hydroxyl groups form two short (OH)–Pb bonds that result in (OH)Pb2 dimers attached to the [O5Pb8] sheets. The chlorine anions are located between the {[O5Pb8](OH)2} sheets, providing three-dimensional linkage of the structure. The structure is closely related to other structures based on PbO-type defect sheets. On the basis of chemical composition and powder X-ray-diffraction data, we suggest that Pb8O5(OH)2Cl4 is a synthetic analogue of blixite. Keywords: lead oxide chloride, blixite, oxocentered tetrahedra, crystal structure.

Khlopin Radium Institute, Roentgen Street 1, 197101 St Petersburg, Russia *E-mail: [email protected] OCCURRENCE The mineral occurs in the Torr Works (Merehead) Quarry, East Cranmore, Somerset, UK. Yeomanite is associated with mendipite, as a cavity filling in manganese oxide pods. Other oxyhalide minerals that are found hosted in mendipite include diaboleite, chloroxiphite and paralaurionite. Secondary Pb and Cu minerals, including mimetite, wulfenite, cerussite, hydrocerussite, malachite, and crednerite also occur in the same environment. Gangue minerals associated with mineralised manganese pods include aragonite, calcite and barite. Undifferentiated pod-forming Mn oxides are typically a mixture of manganite and pyrolusite, associated with Fe oxyhydroxides such as goethite (Turner, 2006).

  • The Sierra De Cacheuta Vein-Type Se Mineralization, Mendoza Province, Argentina
    minerals Article The Sierra de Cacheuta Vein-Type Se Mineralization, Mendoza Province, Argentina Günter Grundmann 1 and Hans-Jürgen Förster 2,* 1 Eschenweg 6, DE-32760 Detmold, Germany; [email protected] 2 Helmholtz Centre Potsdam German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ, DE-14473 Potsdam, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-0331-288-28843 Received: 14 February 2018; Accepted: 15 March 2018; Published: 22 March 2018 Abstract: The Sierra de Cacheuta vein-type Se mineralization in the Mendoza Province predominantly consists of clausthalite, klockmannite, eskebornite, eucairite, and naumannite. These primary selenides formed in a fault zone, cutting through fine-grained trachytic host rock. Cross-sections perpendicular to the veinlets, polarized light microscopy, and scanning-electron microscopy, combined with electron-microprobe analysis, provide a record of the relationship between different crystallization and deformation events. Mineralization encompasses four episodes of fault formation (d1–d4): early zonal selenide crystallization (stage (I)); ductile deformation of the selenides (stage (II)); fault re-opening, fluid-mediated metal mobilization, metalliferous-fluid infiltration, and mineral precipitation (stage (III)); and subsequent alteration (stage (IV)). The Se vein originated from multiple injections of highly oxidized, metal-rich fluids. These low-T solutions (estimated max. temperature ◦ 100 C, max. pressure 1 bar) possessed high to exceptionally high Se fugacities (log f Se2 between −14.5 and −11.2) that prevailed for most of the evolution of the deposit. The source of the Se and the accompanying metals (Cu, Ag, Pb, and Fe) is probably the neighboring bituminous shale. The deposition of Se minerals occurred when the oxidized metal-bearing solutions came in contact with a reductant, which caused the reduction of mobile selenate to immobile selenide or elemental Se.

  • IMA–CNMNC Approved Mineral Symbols
    Mineralogical Magazine (2021), 85, 291–320 doi:10.1180/mgm.2021.43 Article IMA–CNMNC approved mineral symbols Laurence N. Warr* Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, 17487 Greifswald, Germany Abstract Several text symbol lists for common rock-forming minerals have been published over the last 40 years, but no internationally agreed standard has yet been established. This contribution presents the first International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) approved collection of 5744 mineral name abbreviations by combining four methods of nomenclature based on the Kretz symbol approach. The collection incorporates 991 previously defined abbreviations for mineral groups and species and presents a further 4753 new symbols that cover all currently listed IMA minerals. Adopting IMA– CNMNC approved symbols is considered a necessary step in standardising abbreviations by employing a system compatible with that used for symbolising the chemical elements. Keywords: nomenclature, mineral names, symbols, abbreviations, groups, species, elements, IMA, CNMNC (Received 28 November 2020; accepted 14 May 2021; Accepted Manuscript published online: 18 May 2021; Associate Editor: Anthony R Kampf) Introduction used collection proposed by Whitney and Evans (2010).

NICKEL Exploration and Mining, CSIRO, Private Bag no.5, PO Wembley, W.A. 1613, Australia HUBERT PUTZ Department of Geography, Geology and Mineralogy, University of Salzburg, Hellbrunnerstr. 34, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria ABSTRACT Jaguéite, with the simplified formula Cu2Pd3Se4, the copper analogue of chrisstanleyite, was discovered in a telethermal selenide vein-type deposit at the El Chire prospect, Los Llantenes District of La Rioja Province, Argentina. The new mineral species is generally associated with chrisstanleyite, particularly in intimate intergrowths, clausthalite, naumannite, tiemannite, klockmannite, berzelianite, umangite and aguilarite. Mercurian silver, native gold, and two unnamed compounds, chemically (Ag,Cu)6Hg2Pd2Se3 and (Ag,Cu)8Hg3(S,Se)7, occur as rare constituents. The selenide vein is hosted by metasedimentary rocks of Carboniferous age that belong to the Precordilleran terrane. Jaguéite occurs in anhedral grains that lack a distinct morphology. Aggregates of intergrown jaguéite and chrisstanleyite measure up to 100 ϫ 20 ␮m; single grains, however, do not exceed 60 ␮m. The mineral is megascopically creamy yellowish in color, opaque and lacks internal reflections.

  • Tilkerodeite, Pd2hgse3, a New Platinum-Group Mineral from Tilkerode, Harz Mountains, Germany
    crystals Article Tilkerodeite, Pd2HgSe3, a New Platinum-Group Mineral from Tilkerode, Harz Mountains, Germany Chi Ma 1,*, Hans-Jürgen Förster 2 and Günter Grundmann 3 1 Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA 2 Helmholtz Centre Potsdam German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ, D-14473 Potsdam, Germany; [email protected] 3 Eschenweg 6, D-32760 Detmold, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 July 2020; Accepted: 6 August 2020; Published: 8 August 2020 Abstract: Tilkerodeite, ideally Pd2HgSe3, is a new platinum-group selenide from the Eskaborner Stollen (Adit Eskaborn) at Tilkerode, Harz Mountains, Germany. Tilkerodeite crystals occur as euhedral inclusions in tiemannite or as extremely fine-grained lamellar aggregates (grain-size up to 3 µm) in a dolomite–ankerite matrix, together with clausthalite, tiemannite, jacutingaite, stibiopalladinite, and native gold. Neighbouring Se-bearing minerals include tischendorfite and chrisstanleyite. Tilkerodeite is opaque with a metallic luster, and is flexible in blade-like crystals, with perfect basal cleavage 001 . In plane-polarized light, tilkerodeite is brownish-grey. It is weakly bireflectant, f g and weakly pleochroic in shades of light-brown and grey. The anisotropy is weak, with rotation tints in weak shades of greenish-brown and grey-brown. The range of reflectance is estimated in comparison to clausthalite with 45–50%. Electron-microprobe analyses yield the mean composition (wt %) Se 32.68, Hg 26.33, Pt 20.62, Pd 15.89, Pb 2.72, Cu 0.66, S 0.27, total 99.17 wt%. The empirical formula (based on six atoms pfu) is (Pd1.08Pt0.76Pb0.09Cu0.07)S2.00Hg0.95(Se2.98S0.07)S3.05.
