Allin A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Geoscience: Geology Option Montana Technological University 2019 ii Abstract Experiments were conducted to determine the relative rates of reduction of aqueous sulfate and aqueous arsenite (As(OH)3,aq) using foils of copper, nickel, or cobalt as the reductant, at temperatures of 150ºC to 300ºC. At the highest temperature of 300°C, very limited sulfate reduction was observed with cobalt foil, but sulfate was reduced to sulfide by copper foil (precipitation of Cu2S (chalcocite)) and partly reduced by nickel foil (precipitation of NiS2 (vaesite) + NiSO4·xH2O). In the 300ºC arsenite reduction experiments, Cu3As (domeykite), Ni5As2, or CoAs (langisite) formed. In experiments where both sulfate and arsenite were present, some produced minerals were sulfarsenides, which contained both sulfide and arsenide, i.e. cobaltite (CoAsS). These experiments also produced large (~10 µm along longest axis) euhedral crystals of metal-sulfide that were either imbedded or grown upon a matrix of fine-grained metal-arsenides, or, in the case of cobalt, metal-sulfarsenide. Some experimental results did not show clear mineral formation, but instead demonstrated metal-arsenic alloying at the foil edges.

In one small mineral vein in core from borehole 144-Ż in the Żarki-Kotowice area, almost all of the ore minerals known from related deposits in the vicinity occur. Some of the minerals in the vein described in this paper, namely, nickeline, hessite, native silver and minerals of the cobaltite-gersdorffite group, have not previously been reported from elsewhere in the Kraków-Lubliniec tectonic zone. The identified minerals are chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, sphalerite, Co-rich pyrite, tennantite, tetrahedrite, bornite, galena, magnetite, hematite, cassiterite, pyrrhotite, wolframite (ferberite), scheelite, molybdenite, nickeline, minerals of the cobaltite- gersdorffite group, carrollite, hessite and native silver. Moreover, native bismuth, bismuthinite, a Cu- and Ag-rich sulfosalt of Bi (cuprobismutite) and Ni-rich pyrite also occur in the vein. We suggest that, the ore mineralization from the borehole probably reflects post-magmatic hydrothermal activity related to an unseen granitic intrusion located under the Mesozoic sediments in the Żarki-Pilica area.

  • Discussion Paper on Mineral Groups by E. H. Nickel
    Discussion Paper on Mineral Groups by E. H. Nickel INTRODUCTION There are two aspects to the compilation of mineral groups. One is the criteria to be used in defining a group. In a recent meeting of the CCM in Melbourne, it was generally agreed that the main criteria defining a group are that it should comprise at least two species, and that the species comprising the group should be isostructural, as indicated by similarity of space group and unit-cell parameters. An important additional consideration is the need to develop an arrangement of the groups in a way that makes it relatively easy to find the group to which a particular mineral species should be consigned. There are many ways in which mineral groups can be classified, and I have looked at four different possibilities with the aim of initiating discussion on this topic. To illustrate the four different classification systems, I have applied them to the sulfide and sulfosalt minerals. The four systems, demonstrated below, are as follows: I) Alphabetical; II) Hey’s chemical classification; III) A combination of Hey’s chemical classification and Smith’s structural formulae; and IV) Strunz’s chemical-structural classification. Comments and suggestions are welcomed. I) SULFIDE AND SULFOSALT GROUPS ALPHABETICAL LISTING Argyrodite Group: Orthorhombic, Pna21 (33). Argyrodite structure type Arsenopyrite Group: Monoclinic, P21/c (14). Related to marcasite structure. Berthierite Group: Orthorhombic, Pnam (62). Berthierite structure type.

  • The Structure of Stilpnomelane Reexamined
    THE STRUCTURE OF STILPNOMELANE REEXAMINED JouN W. Gnunon, Uniaersity of Minnesota, Mi.nneapolis,Minnesota. Assrnect New r-ray data show the distribution of ions normal to the basal cleavage in the layer silicate stilpnomelane. Since it is similarto talc and biotite a structure consistentwithits properties can be proposed. It explains satisfactorily the behavior of the mineral including its base exchange of K for Tl. Stilpnomelane is an important essential constituent of certain iron formations. fNrnooucrroN The writer (1) made an attempt in 1937 to determine the composition and crystal structure of stilpnomelane. At that time the mineral had been reported from the quartz veins in iron formations and from the chlorite-epidote-albite schists in New Zealand (8 and 11). Recently it has been identified in large amounts in the iron formations of the Cuyuna and Mesabi ranges of Minnesota. There it is one of the three principal iron silicates,iron talc, to be describedin detail shortly, being the second and greenalite the third. As was pointed out previously, (1, p. 912) stilpnomelane may readily be mistaken for biotite under the microscope.Like biotite it is negative with a small optic angle and has similar pleochroism. In the hand speci- men it resembleseither biotite or chlorite, but is much more brittle. Its cleavageis excellent. Basal sections with partially developed hexagonal outlines have been observed. These properties and the discussion that follows make it certain that stilpnomelane has a layer structure and is related to the micas and chlorites. CnBurcar CouposrrroN Nothing essentially new can be added with regard to the chemical composition of stilpnomelane.

  • On the Symmetry of Tsumcorite Group Minerals Based on the New Species Rappoldite and Zincgartrellite
    Mineralogical Magazine, December 2000, Vol. 64(6), pp. 1109-1126 On the symmetry of tsumcorite group minerals based on the new species rappoldite and zincgartrellite H. EFFENBERGERI,*, W. KRAUSE2, H.-J. BERNHARDT3 AND M. MARTIN4 I Institut fUr Mineralogie und Kristallographie, Universitat Wien, Althanstra~e 14, A-I090 Vienna, Austria 2 Henriette-Lott-Weg 8, 0-50354 Hiirth, Gennany 3 Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, Institut fUr Mineralogie, Universitatsstraf.le 150, 0-44780 Bochum, Germany 4 Heinrich-Zille-Weg 8, 0-09599 Freiberg, Germany ABSTRACT Rappoldite, the Co-analogue of helmutwinklerite, and zincgartrellite, the Zn-dominant analogue of gartrellite, are two new members of the tsumcorite group. Both minerals are triclinic, their structures are closely related to the parent structure, i.e. the 'tsumcorite type' (C2/m, Z = 2). The lower symmetry is caused by two different crysta,l-ch~mical requirements. Order :Bhenomen~+ o.f the hydrogen bonds cause the 'helmutwmklente type (PI, Z = 4), ordenng of Cu and Fe' IS responsible for the 'gartrellite type' (PI, Z = I). Rappoldite was found on samples from the Rappold mine near Schneeberg, Saxony, Gennany. The new species fonns red to red-brown prismatic and tabular crystals up to I mm long. Deale. = 5.28 g/cm3. 2Vz = 85(5r, nx = 1.85 (calc.), ny = 1.87(2) and nz = 1.90(2); dispersion is distinct with r > v; orientation is Y -II [120] and X - c.
