About GustaviteHide

Gustav A. Hageman

Formula:

AgPbBi₃S₆

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

3½

Specific Gravity:

7.01 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

Member of:

Lillianite Homologous Series Group

Name:

Named by S. Karup-Møller in honor of Gustav Adolph Hageman (16 May 1842, Rodsteenseje, Denmark - 26 April 1916, Snekkersten, Denmark), chemical engineer for the Cryolite Firm (Ivigtut, Greenland), industrialist and politician.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Ivigtut Mine, Ivigtut stock, Arsuk Fjord, Sermersooq, Greenland

Isostructural with:

Terrywallaceite

Gustavite-Lillianite Series.

Natural gustavite appears to be monoclinic (Harris & Chen, 1975; Makovicky & Karup-Møller, 1977) due to Ag-Bi ordering, while synthetic gustavite was found to be orthorhombic (Bente et al., 1993).
An Sb-rich, monoclinic gustavite has been characterised by Pažout & Dušek (2009); it may be a new species.

An apparent Se analogue was reported (Unnamed (Ag-Pb-Bi Selenide)).

Cell Parameters:

a = 13.54 Å, b = 19.44 Å, c = 4.1 Å

Ratio:

Unit Cell V:

1,079.19 Å³ (Calculated from Unit Cell)

Morphology:

Tabular crystals, sometimes bent.

Twinning:

Two twin laws found in type material. The first is very common; repeated twinning with an irregular composition plane parallel to the tabular plates. The second is uncommon; composition plane perpendicular to the tabular plates.

Comment:

Data for synthetic gustavite. Type material appears to be monoclinic, with P21/c cell with a = 7.077 (7) Å, b = 19.566 (12) Å, c = 8.272 (8) Å and beta = 107.18 (9)° (Harris & Chen, 1975). Makovicky & Topa (2011) give, for a crystal from Rotgülden, the following unit-cell parameters (space group P21/c): a = 7.0567(14), b = 19.6905(39), c = 8.2219(16) Å, beta = 106.961(3)°, V = 1092.7(2) Å3.
