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. |
