About IsocubaniteHide

Formula:

CuFe₂S₃

Colour:

Bronze yellow brown

Lustre:

Metallic, Sub-Metallic

Hardness:

3½

Specific Gravity:

4.075 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Isometric

Name:

Named as the isometric polymorph of cubanite.

Type Locality:

ⓘ EPR 21° N, Juan de Fuca Ridge complex, East Pacific Rise, Pacific Ocean

Dimorph of:

Cubanite

Structurally related to the Sphalerite Group.

Characteristic of high-temperature (> 200°C) present-day submarine sulphide deposits. Unstable and therefore unusual in fossil ores.
Can be formed from cubanite by heating the latter to between 200°C and 270°C; this transformation is irreversible. Also known as an artificial phase and as 'iss - intermediate solid solution of CuFe₂S₃ composition', 'cubic cubanite', 'cubanite II' and 'chalcopyrrhotite'.

May also transform to UM1994-22-S:CuFe (Cu_1-xFe_3+xS₄) and chalcopyrite (Wintenberger et al., 1994).
