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: Ferrokësterite
RRUFF ID: R060870
Ideal Chemistry: Cu2FeSnS4
Locality: Cligga mine, Perranzabuloe, Cornwall, England
Source: Michael Scott S101027 [view label]
Owner: RRUFF
Description: Dark greenish black semimetallic massive. The X-ray diffraction results indicate a exsolution texture of ferrokesterite and stannite. According to Kissin & Owens (1989), based on our cell edges, this sample is at the stannite/ferrokesterite boundary.
Status: The identification of this mineral is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis.
Mineral Groups: [ Stannite (11) ] [ Sphalerite (35) ]
