Modern mineralogy of gold: overview and new data Minéralogie moderne de l’or : bilan et nouvelles données Ernst Spiridonov* and Denka Yanakieva** Abstract: We suppose that it should be useful for archaeologists to have an overview on gold mineralogy, because 1) in ancient times, part of the golden objects were made directly from natural golden nuggets; 2) most of the Au in ores exists as its own minerals. he major part of the Au in the planets and meteorites of our Solar system is found in high temperature solid solutions: metallic Fe-Ni and monosulides Fe-Ni and Fe-Cu. Au leaves them under luid or some other reworking. As a result, Au minerals are formed. hey are mainly developed in hydrothermal deposits of the upper part of Earth’s continental crust. -

Multianalytical Investigation and Conservation of Unique Copper Model Tools from Ancient Egyptian Dark Age
Ge-conservación Conservação | Conservation Multianalytical Investigation and Conservation of Unique Copper Model Tools from Ancient Egyptian Dark Age Manal Maher, Yussri Salem Abstract: The article presented multianalytical investigation of a unique set of copper model tools dated back to Dark Age, from the tomb of KHENNU AND APA-EM-SA-F (289) in the south of Memphis, Saqqara. Stereomicroscope was used to examine the morphology of outer surface corrosion products. Metallographic microscope was used to investigate the microstructure of the metal core and the stratigraphy of corrosion layers. SEM-EDX was used to identify the elemental composition of the objects. XRD and Raman spectroscopy were used to analyze the outer surface and the internal corrosion respectively. The microscopic investigation revealed the corrosion layers consists of external layer, under-surface layer and internal corrosion products. Cuprite, paratacamite, nantokite, atacamite, malachite and chalconatronite were identified by XRD and Raman spectroscopy as a surface and internal corrosion. SEM-EDX revealed that the case-study objects consist of copper metal without any further alloying elements. The study presented suitable treatment for these friable objects or such cases, and then presented a safe fixing procedure by a sewing technique via transparent inert threads.

Apophyllite-(Kf)
December 2013 Mineral of the Month APOPHYLLITE-(KF) Apophyllite-(KF) is a complex mineral with the unusual tendency to “leaf apart” when heated. It is a favorite among collectors because of its extraordinary transparency, bright luster, well- developed crystal habits, and occurrence in composite specimens with various zeolite minerals. OVERVIEW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemistry: KCa4Si8O20(F,OH)·8H20 Basic Hydrous Potassium Calcium Fluorosilicate (Basic Potassium Calcium Silicate Fluoride Hydrate), often containing some sodium and trace amounts of iron and nickel. Class: Silicates Subclass: Phyllosilicates (Sheet Silicates) Group: Apophyllite Crystal System: Tetragonal Crystal Habits: Usually well-formed, cube-like or tabular crystals with rectangular, longitudinally striated prisms, square cross sections, and steep, diamond-shaped, pyramidal termination faces; pseudo-cubic prisms usually have flat terminations with beveled, distinctly triangular corners; also granular, lamellar, and compact. Color: Usually colorless or white; sometimes pale shades of green; occasionally pale shades of yellow, red, blue, or violet. Luster: Vitreous to pearly on crystal faces, pearly on cleavage surfaces with occasional iridescence. Transparency: Transparent to translucent Streak: White Cleavage: Perfect in one direction Fracture: Uneven, brittle. Hardness: 4.5-5.0 Specific Gravity: 2.3-2.4 Luminescence: Often fluoresces pale yellow-green. Refractive Index: 1.535-1.537 Distinctive Features and Tests: Pseudo-cubic crystals with pearly luster on cleavage surfaces; longitudinal striations; and occurrence as a secondary mineral in association with various zeolite minerals. Laboratory analysis is necessary to differentiate apophyllite-(KF) from closely-related apophyllite-(KOH). Can be confused with such zeolite minerals as stilbite-Ca [hydrous calcium sodium potassium aluminum silicate, Ca0.5,K,Na)9(Al9Si27O72)·28H2O], which forms tabular, wheat-sheaf-like, monoclinic crystals. -
