Important Update News
The RRUFF Project is being updated to improve its interface and content. The beta version of the update is accessible to the public at RRUFF.net. New data is only being added to the beta site. Please note that it is in development, and some components are not functional. Existing RRUFF.info links will resolve to the new site after RRUFF.net is officially released.
We are grateful to NASA for the funding of this effort.

Name: Chlorbartonite RRUFF ID: R070178 Ideal Chemistry: K6Fe24S26Cl Locality: Coyote Peak, Orick, Humboldt County, California, USA Source: Michael Scott S100508 [view label] Owner: RRUFF Description: Brownish black with submetallic luster, associated with bartonite. Note that this is co-type material for bartonite, but there is very little bartonite on this piece. Status: The identification of this mineral is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. |
