THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE of CAHNITE, Cabaso4 (OH)4
THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CAHNITE, CaBAsO4 (OH)4 by Charles T.

Department of>Geolgy nd Geophysics, May 20, 1960 Certified by . t -.. 4-w.Vi 4 ... .. ... , . Thesis Supervisor Accepted by . .* . .... ... Chairman, Departmental Committee on Graduate Students THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CAHNITE, Ca2 BAs04 (OH)4 Charles T. Prewitt Submitted to the Department of Geology on May 20, 1960 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Cahnite is one of the few crystals which had been assigned to crystal class 4. A precession study showed that its diffraction sphol is 4/m I-/-, which contains space groups I4, I4E, and14/. Because of the known 4 morphology, it must be assigned to space group I4. The unit cell, whose dimensions are a = 7.11A, o = 6.201, contains two formula weights of Ca BAsO (OH)L. The structure was studied with the aid of in ensity medsurements made with a single-crystal diffractometer. Patterson s ntheses were first made for projections along the c, a, and 110 directions. The atomic numbers of the atoms are in the ratio As:Ca.0:B = 33:20:8:5, so that the Patterson peaks are dominated by the atom pairs containing arsenic as one member of the pair. Since there are only two arsenic atoms in a body-centered cell, one As can be arbitrarily assigned to the origin. -

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 Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ).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

Description and Unique Crystal-Structure of Waterhouseite, a New Hydroxy Manganese Phosphate Species from the Iron Monarch Deposit, Middleback Ranges, South Australia

BIRCH Department of Mineralogy, Museum of Victoria, GPO Box 666E, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000, Australia ABSTRACT Waterhouseite from the Iron Monarch mine, Iron Knob, South Australia, is a new hydroxy manganese phosphate species that has a unique crystal-structure. The mineral was found in a carbonate-rich zone with gatehouseite, seamanite, rhodochrosite, shigaite, barite, hausmannite and hematite. It occurs as divergent sprays of orange-brown to dark brown bladed crystals up to 1 mm in length but only up to 20 m in thickness. The crystals are transparent with a pearly luster on cleavages, but it is vitreous to pearly on the tabular faces. The mineral is brittle, with a conchoidal fracture and a yellowish brown streak. There is a perfect cleavage on (100) and a probable cleavage on (001). The crystals show the principal forms {100} (dominant), {010}, {011} and {001}. All crystals are twinned on (100) by non-merohedry. The Mohs hardness is estimated to be ~4, and the measured density is 3.55(5) g/cm3 (calculated density is 3.591 g/cm3). Crystals are biaxial negative and length-slow, with ␣ 1.730(3),  ~1.738 and ␥ 1.738(4), but 2V could not be measured. -
