Supergene Bi mineralization with namibite, bismutoferrite and bismutite was found on a quartz-fluorite vein Nadějná near the Kotlina in the Krušné hory Mts. (Czech Republic). Namibite forms green coatings on the cracks of fluorite veins and more rarely dark green glassy lustrous, hedgehog-shaped aggregates up to 0.2 mm in size formed by flat needle-like crystals. The unit-cell parameters of namibite refined from the powder X-ray data are: a 6.2096(18), b 7.395(2), c 7.4708(18) Å, α 90.1(2)°, β 108.73(15)°, γ 107.45(19)° and V 308.09(15) Å3. Its chemical analyses correspond to the empirical formula (Cu0.93Fe0.03Ca0.01)Σ0.97(BiO)1.79(V0.97P0.02Cr0.01)Σ1.00O4(OH)0.75. Bismutoferrite forms yellow powdery aggregates in cracks and in small cavities of fluorite. Its chemical analyses correspond to the empirical formula (Fe1.91 Cu0.03Mg0.02Al0.02Ca0.01)Σ1.99Bi0.92(SiO4)2.00(OH)0.68. Bismutite in the fluorite vein forms yellow-white pseudomorphoses probably after the acicular crystals of primary Bi sulfide (emplectite or bismuthinite) up to 2 mm long. Study of Raman spectra was performed for all studied minerals.

A new locality of zeolite minerals occurs on the NE edge of the Jedlka village, at the SE slope of the Hlídka hill, 2 km to W of Benešov nad Ploučnicí (northern Bohemia, Czech Republic). The mineralization is developed in Cenozoic analcime-nepheline tephrite. Ten zeolite mineral species (gmelinite-K, analcime, harmotome, chabazite-Ca, lévyne-Ca, mezolite, natrolite, offretite, phillipsite-K, thomsonite-Ca) were found in small amygdule cavities of tephrite. The most interesting is gmelinite-K, a rare zeolite worldwide, which forms clear, white or slightly yellowish, hexagonal lenticular crystals up to 7 mm, always intergrown with the chabazite-Ca. The unit-cell parameters of gmelinite-K, refined from the powder X-ray data, are a = 13.795 (19), c = 9.811(6) Å and V = 1616.8(3) Å3; its quantitative chemical analyses correspond to the empirical formula (K2.32Ca1.86Sr0.53Na0.20Ba0.19)Σ5.10(Al8.14Si16.01O48)·22H2O.

A new locality of böhmite and zeolite minerals, called „Soutěsky above the quarry“, occurs near the quarry „Soutěsky“ on the SW slope of the Hlídka hill, eastward of the Soutěsky village, about 5 km SW od the town of Děčín (Czech Republic). The mineralization is bound to vugs of Cenozoic volcanics. Böhmite forms mostly whitish to brownish hemispherical to spherical clusters up to 5 mm in size. The unit-cell parameters of böhmite, refined from the X-ray powder data, are a 2.871 (3), b 12.216(9), c 3.699(4) Å and V 129.7(2) Å3. Chemical analyses correspond to the empirical formula (Al0.92 Si0.06)Σ0.98O(OH). The following zeolites have been found in association with böhmite: thomsonite-Ca, phillipsite-K, gismondine, chabazite-Ca and analcime, as well as calcite. Minerals crystallized in following succession: calcite I → phillipsite-K → böhmite → calcite II → thomsonite-Ca → gismondine → calcite III. Independently, (older) analcime and (younger) chabazite-Ca occur. These minerals probably crystallized from low tempered solutions, enriched in Al ions and alkalies, the source of which can be found in altered rock-forming alumosilicates (analcime, nepheline).

Brochantite, devilline, köttigite, erythrite and gypsum were also found in the association with Cu arsenates. The origin of the described mineral association is connected with (sub)recent weathering of primary ore minerals (tennantite, sphalerite, nickelskutterudite) in relatively dry conditions of abandoned mine adits.

AbstractThe new minerals d'ansite-(Mn), Na21Mn2+(SO4)10Cl3, and d'ansite-(Fe), Na21Fe2+(SO4)10Cl3, occur as encrustations in fumaroles at Vesuvius, Naples, Italy and La Fossa crater, Vulcano, Aeolian Islands, Italy, respectively. Both minerals are cubic and crystallize in space group I3d. D'ansite-(Mn) forms colourless translucent tristetrahedral crystals up to 0.2 mm on edge; d'ansite-(Fe) forms aggregates of colourless to white complex isometric crystals of about the same size. Chemical analyses obtained by energy-dispersive spectrometry on an electron microprobe gave the following mean compositions: d'ansite-(Mn), Na2O 39.37, MnO 3.46, MgO 0.13, SO3 49.99, Cl 6.36, O=Cl–1.44, total 97.87 wt.%, corresponding to an empirical formula, on the basis of 43 anions, of Na20.61 (Mn2+0.79Mg0.05)Σ0.84S10.13O40.09Cl2.91; and d'ansite-(Fe), Na2O 39.12, FeO 4.18, MgO 0.12, SO3 49.91, Cl 6.81, O=Cl –1.54, total 98.60 wt.%, corresponding to an empirical formula of Na20.42(Fe2+0.94Mg0.05)Σ0.99S10.08O39.89Cl3.11. The six strongest reflections in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of d'ansite-(Fe) [listed as dobs(Å) (I) (hkl)] are as follows: 2.807(100)(044), 2.570(37)(235), 1.714(29)(129), 3.384(27)(233), 3.113(26)(134), 2.108(15)(237). The unit-cell parameters obtained from single-crystal data are 15.9291(9) and 15.882(3) Å for d'ansite-(Mn) and d'ansite-(Fe), respectively. The structure of both minerals was refined, using single-crystal diffraction data, to final R parameters of 0.0309 and 0.0336 on reflections with I > 2σ(I). The structure contains three independent Na sites, one of which is partially occupied by Mn2+ or Fe2+, two independent sulfate anions and one chlorine site.

AbstractChemical analyses of bannisterite from the Kamo mine, Toba City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, give Ba : Ca = 69:31–55:45, yielding the ideal formula with Ba > Ca, i.e. (Ba,Ca)(K,H3O)(Mn2+ · Mg,Fe2+)21 (Si,Al)32(O,OH)92 · nH2O, where Ba > Ca, Mn2+ > Mg, Fe2+,Si ≫ Al, and O > OH. The unit cell parameters calculated after the indexing of the X-ray powder pattern are: a = 22.95, b = 16.52, c = 25.66 Å, β = 94.2°. It occurs as dark brown veinlets cutting massive caryopilite-rhodochrosite ore, which is also cut by veinlets of manganoan chlorite (Mn/(Mg + Mn + Fe) = c. 0.30–0.39) with minor barian orthoclase (Ba/(K+ Ba) = 0.05 ∼ 0.06).

The Ideal

Two rare sulfosalt minerals, fülöppite and plagionite, have been determined in samples from a small abandoned Sb occurrence Mikulovický vrch near Kadaň, northern Bohemia, Czech Republic. The more abundant fülöppite forms grey aggregates (up to 5 mm in size) with metallic lustre in quartz gangue and rare crystals up to 1.5 mm across in association with stibnite, plagionite, sphalerite, pyrite and arsenopyrite. Fülöppite is monoclinic, space group C2/c with refined unit-cell parameters: a 13.443(2), b 11.737(2), c 16.953(2) Å, β 94.69(1)° and V 2665.9(5) Å3. Its empirical formula (mean of 93 point analyses) is (Pb2.80Sn0.01Hg0.01)Σ2.82Sb8.18S14.99. Two types of plagionite were found as irregular aggregates up to 200 μm in size in quartz gangue, ussualy in association with fülöppite. The first rarer one is close to the ideal composition with empirical formula (mean of 10 point analyses) (Pb4.90Hg0.01)Σ4.91Sb8.07S17.02; the second is distinctly Pb-poor with the calculated N homologue number in the range of 1.37 - 1.74 and empirical formula (mean of 62 point analyses) (Pb4.31Sn0.02Hg0.01)Σ4.34Sb8.53S17.13. Determination of fülöppite and Pb-poor plagionite were also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Gypsum, valentinite, native sulphur and jarosite were detected as products of weathering of primary mineralization.
