F R050187 - RRUFF Database: Raman, X-ray, Infrared, and Chemistry

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.

Stannite R050187

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) ]
