W(OH, F, Cl)-dominant amphibole R050187 - RRUFF Database: Raman, X-ray, Infrared, and Chemistry

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) ]
