abstract = {Millimeter-sized crystals of mimetite and pyromorphite, and polymineralic mimetite-pyromorphite-vanadinite crystals occur in quartz-baryte vein within paragneisses of the Sowie Mts, SW Poland. Three morphologically different mimetite crystals and a polymineralic crystal were examined by electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA), back-scattered electrons (BSE) imaging, Raman microspectroscopy, and X-ray composition mapping. Mimetite occurs as well-developed crystals, crystals built up of sub-parallel individuals due to autoepitaxial growth, and crystals extensively etched. All of the mimetite crystals are zoned with respect to pyromorphite molecule content with sharp increase up to 23 mol% in the outermost zones. The apparent vanadinite crystal actually consists of oscillatory-zoned pyromorphite + minor vanadinite core, intermediate zones composed of pyromorphite, two mimetite zones intercalated by a band of oscillatory pyromorphite and minor vanadinite, and vanadinite mantle. EPMA data show a limited miscibility between all three minerals in the polymineralic crystal. Most analyzes cluster around 10 mol% of ternary solid solution with the maximum value of ca. 30 mol%. X-ray elemental maps reveal sharp boundaries between compositionally contrasting zones in the crystal core. In mimetite zones, the substitution of As by P does not exceed 0.43 atoms per formula unit (apfu). In the vanadinite mantle, As + P does not exceed 0.30 apfu. The distribution of Pb is uniform throughout the crystal with the highest Ca/Pb ratio of 0.03. The observed sequence of crystallization in the polymineralic crystal can be explained by the relative changes in ions concentrations at the crystal/solution interface, i.e. within the diffusion boundary layer, in accord with the models of the autocatalytic crystal growth. The authors hypothesize that kinetically driven fast growth of the polymineralic crystals resulted in precipitation of discrete mineral phases with very limited anionic substitutions. © 2024 Eligiusz Szełȩg et al., published by Sciendo.},

abstract = {The palmierite supergroup, approved by the IMA-CNMNC, includes five mineral species characterised by the general crystal-chemical formula XIIM1XM22(IVTO4)2 (Z = 3). On the basis of the crystal-chemical arguments and heterovalent isomorphic substitution scheme M++T6+ ↔ M2++T5+, the palmierite supergroup can be formally divided into two groups: the palmierite group M12+M22+(T6+O4)2, and the tuite group M12+M222+(T5+O4)2. Currently, the palmierite group includes palmierite K2Pb(SO4)2, and kalistrontite K2Sr(SO4)2, whereas the tuite group combines tuite Ca3(PO4)2, mazorite Ba3(PO4)2, and gurimite Ba3(VO4)2. The isostructural supergroup members crystallise in space group R̅3m (no. 166). The palmierite-type crystal structure is characterised by a sheet arrangement composed of layers formed by M1O12 and M2O10 polyhedra separated by TO4 tetrahedra perpendicular to the c axis. The abundance of distinct ions, which may be hosted at the M and T sites (M = K; Na; Ca; Sr; Ba; Sr; Pb; Rb; Zn; Tl; Cs; Bi; NH4 and REE; T = Si; P; V; As; S; Se; Mo; Cr and W) implies many possible combinations, resulting in potentially new mineral species. Minerals belonging to the palmierite supergroup are relatively rare and usually form under specific conditions, and their synthetic counterparts play a significant role in various industrial applications. © The Author(s), 2023.

abstract = {Gismondine-Sr, recently discovered in the Hatrurim Complex in Israel, has been recognised in a xenolith sample from the Bellerberg volcano in Germany. The empirical crystal-chemical formula indicates elevated K content: (Sr1.74Ca1.05Ba0.09K1.56Na0.49)Σ4.93[Al7.98Si8.06O32]·9.62H2O. Additionally, Ba-rich gismondine and amicite have been found in the low-temperature mineral association of the pyrometamorphic rock from the Hatrurim Complex. The Raman spectra of the studied zeolites and the crystal structure of gismondine-Sr from the second occurrence are presented. A review of zeolites with GIS framework-type structure leads to the following conclusions: (1) garronite-Na and gobbinsite are equivalent and constitute a solid solution with garronite-Ca; (2) gismondine-Ca, -Sr, and amicite belong to one mineral series; (3) two zeolites series with different R-factors (defined as Si/(Si+Al+Fe)) can be distinguished within GIS topology: the garronite series (R > 0.6) including garronite-Ca and gobbinsite, with general formula (MyD0.5(x-y))[AlxSi(16-x)O32]·nH2O, where M and D refer to monovalent and divalent cations, respectively; and the gismondine series, including amicite, gismondine-Sr and gismondine-Ca, with R ≈ 0.5, and the general formula (MyD0.5(8-y))[Al8Si8O32]·nH2O. The Raman band between 475 cm-1 and 485 cm-1 is distinctive for the garronite series, whereas the band around 460 cm-1 is characteristic of the gismondine series. On the basis of these findings, a revision of GIS zeolites nomenclature is suggested. Copyright © The Author(s), 2023.

abstract = {The cause of the split of4A4E(4G) Mn2+ excited level measured on minerals spectra is discussed. It is our view that ∆E = |4E(4G) − 4A(4G)| should be considered an important spectroscopic parameter. Among the possible reasons for the energy levels splitting taken under consideration, such as the covalent bond theory, the geometric deformation of the coordination polyhedron and the lattice site’s symmetry, the first one was found to be inappropriate. Two studied willemite samples showed that the impurities occur in one of the two available lattice sites differently in both crystals. Moreover, it was revealed that the calculated crystal field Dq parameter can indicate which of the two non-equivalent lattice sites positions in the willemite crystal structure was occupied by Mn2+ . The above conclusions were confirmed by X-ray structure measurements. Significant differences were also noted in the Raman spectra of these willemites. © 2021 by the authors.

This complex belongs to the widespread pyrometamorphic rock of the Hatrurim Complex. The spurrite marble is mainly composed of calcite, fluorapatite, and brownmillerite. Siwaqaite occurs with calcite and minerals of the baryte-hashemite series. It forms hexagonal prismatic crystals up to 250 μm in size, but most common are grain aggregates. Siwaqaite exhibits a canary yellow color and a yellowish-gray streak. The mineral is transparent and has a vitreous luster. It shows perfect cleavage on (1010). Parting or twinning is not observed. The calculated density of siwaqaite is 1.819 g/cm3. Siwaqaite is optically uniaxial (-) with ω = 1.512(2), ϵ = 1.502(2) (589 nm), and non-pleochroic. The empirical formula of the holotype siwaqaite calculated on the basis of 8 framework cations and 26 water molecules is Ca6.01(Al1.87Si0.12)S1.99[(CrO4)1.71(SO4)1.13(SeO4)0.40]S3.24(OH)11.63·26H2O. Xâ'ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and infrared spectroscopy confirm the presence of OH- groups and H2O molecules and absence of (CO3)2- groups. The crystal structure of this Cr6+-analog of ettringite was solved by direct methods using single-crystal synchrotron XRD data. The structure was refined to an agreement index R1 = 4.54%. The crystal structure of siwaqaite consists of {Ca6[Al(OH)6]2·24H2O}6+ columns with the inter-column space (channels) occupied by (CrO4)2-, (SO4)2-, (SeO4)2-, and (SO3)2- groups and H2O molecules. The tetrahedrally coordinated site occupied by different anion groups is subjected to disordering and rotation of these tetrahedra within the structure. The temperature of siwaqaite formation is not higher than ~70-80 °C, as is evident from the mineral association and as inferred from the formation conditions of the natural and synthetic members of the ettringite group minerals, which are stable at conditions of T < 120 °C and pH = 9.5-13. The name siwaqaite is derived from the name of the holotype locality-Siwaqa area, where the mineral was found. © 2020 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2020.},

abstract = {Until now, only the colourless crystals of mineral afwillite, Ca3(HSiO4)2·2H2O, were known from several localities around the world. Present work focuses on blue afwillite counterparts from the Ma'ale Adummim locality in Palestine. Using the wide spectrum of analytical methods we attempted to identify the causes of this unusual colour. Structural investigation confirms the presence of two tetrahedral SiO3OH units connected by hydrogen bonds. The Raman spectrum of afwillite, obtained for the first time, shows the increased number of bands in the range of 785-970 cm-1, whose assignation was correlated with the presence of two different kinds of structural units: (SiO3OH)3- and its deprotonated counterpart (SiO4)4-. The heating process at 250 °C, in addition to the colour changes from blue to pastel green, shows the intensity reduction and disappearing of some Raman bands attributed mainly to SiO3OH units. The IR investigation confirms also the presence of that unit and provides information that the position and designation of infrared bands above ∼2300 cm-1 is related to the strength of hydrogen bonds within the structure. The stretching and bending OH vibrations of afwillite sample show the partial shift to the lower spectral frequencies after the H/D isotopic exchange in OH or H2O groups. Based on the results of the electron absorption and luminescence analyses it has been proposed that the blue colour of afwillite is caused by hole oxygen defect, most probably SiO3 -. © 2019 The Authors},

abstract = {A number of the baryte, BaSO4, - hashemite, BaCrO4, solid solution compounds were synthesized previously. In this study, Raman spectra of naturally occurring phases belonging to the baryte-hashemite series from the pyrometamorphic rocks of the Hatrurim Complex were investigated. The Raman spectrum of natural hashemite, obtained for the first time, shows the position of the fundamental bands for the chromate anion vibrations. The bands related to the stretching vibrations (ν1; ν3) occur at 864 cm−1 and in 871–909 cm−1 regions, whereas the bending vibrations (ν2; ν4) are visible in the 346–360 cm−1 and 400–422 cm−1 range, respectively. Received results allowed to observe a gradual shift of bands in baryte-hashemite solid solution as a consequence of the substitution by different cations. The position of bands depends on the Cr/S ratio in analysed samples, and it is determined by differences in atomic mass, and ionic radii between Cr6+ and S6+, which affect changes in the strength and length of bonds. The occupancy of the same atomic position by two different cations enables to notice variations of polyhedra geometry, and unit cell parameters despite that baryte and hashemite are isostructural and crystallize in the same Pnma space group. We also confirm that the immobilization of the toxic (CrO4)2− ion in the baryte structure may occur directly without oxygen state reduction, we propose to using a baryte-hashemite solid solution as a reservoir for the incorporation of Cr as an environmental pollutant. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.},

In the holotype specimen, sharyginite is widespread in the contact zone of xenolith with alkali basalt. Sharyginite is associated with fluorellestadite, cuspidine, brownmillerite, rondorfite, larnite and minerals of the chlormayenite-wadalite series. The mineral usually forms flat crystals up to 100 µm in length, which are formed by pinacoids {100}, {010} and {001}. Crystals are flattened on (010). Sharyginite is dark brown, opaque with a brown streak and has a sub-metallic lustre. In reflected light, it is light grey and exhibits rare yellowish-brown internal reflections. The calculated density of sharyginite is 3.943 g·cm-3. The empirical formula calculated on the basis of 8 O apfu is Ca3.00(Fe3+ 1.00Ti4+ 0.86Mn4+ 0.11Zr0.01Cr3+ 0.01Mg0.01)Σ2(Fe3+ 0.76Al0.20Si0.04)Σ1.00O8. The crystal structure of sharyginite, closely related to shulamitite Ca3TiFeAlO8structure, consists of double layers of corner-sharing (Ti; Fe3+) O6octahedra, which are separated by single layers of (Fe3+O4) tetrahedra.

abstract = {Dzierżanowskite, CaCu2S2 (P3m1; a = 3.9400(4); c = 6.523(1) Å; V = 87.69(2) Å3; Z = 1), belonging to the thiocuprates,was found in larnite pseudoconglomerate rocks of the Hatrurim pyrometamorphic Complex on Jabel Harmun locality, Palestinian Autonomy, Israel. Dzierżanowskite occurrs in larnite pebbles, which are embedded into low-temperature mineral matrix. Associated minerals are larnite, brownmillerite, fluorellestadite, ye'elimite, gehlenite,periclase, ternesite, nabimusaite, vorlanite, vapnikite, fluor mayenite, fluorkyuygenite, oldhamite, jasmundite, covellite, chalcocite and pyrrhotite. Electron microprobe analyses yield an average composition of Cu 55.25, Fe 0.13, S 27.46 and Ca 16.99 wt.%, total 99.83%. The empirical formula of dzierżanowskite, based on 5 atoms, is estimated as Ca0.98Cu2.02Fe0.01S1.99. Dzierżanowskite forms grains up to 15 μm in size or rims on oldhamite and laminar intergrowths with chalcocite and covellite. Dzierżanowskite is characterized by a dark orange color, a cream streak and submetallic luster. In reflected light it is grey, with a cream tint and characteristic yellow-orange internal reflections. The calculated density of dzierżanowskite is 4.391 g cm-3. Three bands at 300, 103 and 86 cm-1 are observed in the Raman spectrum of dzierżanowskite. The strongest lines of the calculated powder diffraction pattern are [d; Å (I) hkl]: 2.358(100) 102, 1.970(93)110, 3.023(78) 011, 6.523(36) 001, 3.412(28) 100, 1.834(28) 103. Dzierżanowskite was also found in unusual jasmindite rocks, forming small "paleofumaroles" within areas of low-temperature hydrothermal rocks bearing larnite pseudoconglomerates at Jabel Harmun. Dzierżanowskite is a superimposed phase of the high temperature alteration of pyrometamorphic rocks, which were subjected to by-products (melts/fluids and gases) of pyrometamorphism originating in the deeper levels of combustion. © 2017 The Mineralogical Society.},
