Introduction to Mineralogy Dr Introduction to Mineralogy Dr. Tark Hamilton Chapter 15: Lecture 33-c Systematic Mineralogy Chemistry of Sulfides Camosun College GEOS 250

Mineral Chemical Classification Families based on chemical types: Silicate, Sulfide, Element Groups: Similar structures e.g rhombohedral carbonates, orthorhombic pyroxenes Series: Common structure & related cation substitutions e.g. Augite-Hedenbergite Pyroxenes, Pyrope-Almandite-Spessartite Garnet Species: A single mineral with 1 structure, definite composition Calcite, Gold Varieties: Unusual colours, chemical substitutions, analyses Chromian (Cr+3) diopside, Ferrian (Fe+3) annite, Manganoan (Mn+2) Calcite, Quartz (var. Adventurine, Amethyst, Citrine etc.)

Crystal Structure of Native Elements Weak Metallic Bonding: Closest pack array of metal ~cations + Conduction band electrons shared as a uniform crystal field Few Common Lattice Types: 4 points-FCC-12 cn, HCP, 2 points BCC-8 cn 12-fold coordination: || {111} plane, 3-fold axis

Chalcocite: Cu2S Monoclinic 2/m below 105°C, Hexagonal above Chalcocite: Cu2S Monoclinic 2/m below 105°C, Hexagonal above. Shining lead grey tarnishing to black. Sectile poor (110) Cleavage. Abundant ore mineral in Porphyry Copper Deposits. Assiciated with blue to black Digenite Cu9S5 and black to dark grey Djurleite Cu31S16. Massive rarely well formed crystals.

Pentlandite (Fe,Ni)9S8 4/m32/m hexoctahedral contains up to 40% Co for Ni, Occurs as exsolution lamellae in Pentlandite. Notable Octahedral Parting & non-magnetic character distinguish this from yellowish bronze Pyrrhotite. Common ore mineral Sudbury Ontario in Norites (Enstatite Gabbros).
