|   |   | Name: Dickthomssenite RRUFF ID: R070165 Ideal Chemistry: MgV2O6·7H2O Locality: Firefly-Pigmay mine, La Sal Quadrangle, San Juan County, Utah, USA Source: Michael Scott S100559 [view label] Owner: RRUFF Description: Light brown radiating acicular crystals, portion of the type material. Unit cell is triclinc, twinned around a-axis. The monoclinc cell of Hughes et al (2001) is obtained by doubling our b-axis, and transforming. Status: The identification of this mineral has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. |
