Name: Stannite RRUFF ID: R050187 Ideal Chemistry: Cu2FeSnS4 Locality: Yaogangxian mine, Yizhang County, Hunan Province, China Source: Marcus Origlieri and George Guanghua Liu [view label] Owner: RRUFF Description: Bluish-black octahedron associated with fluorite and quartz. According to Kissin & Owens (1989), since 2a is significantly larger than c, this sample is stannite. Status: The identification of this mineral is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. |
Mineral Groups: [ Stannite (11) ] [ Sphalerite (35) ] |
