About MelanteriteHide

Formula:

Fe²⁺(H₂O)₆(SO₄) · H₂O

Six of the water molecules are coordinated with iron.
Often contains minor Cu, colouring the mineral pale bluish to greenish blue to blue.

Colour:

Colorless to white or green, also greenish-blue to blue with increased Cu content; colourless to pale green in transmitted light.

Lustre:

Vitreous

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

1.89

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Melanterite Group

Name:

Named in 1850 from the Greek μελαντηρία for "copperas," meaning ferrous sulfate.

Melanterite Group.
Iron analogue of boothite and zincmelanterite.

Melanterite is a hydrated iron sulphate formed after the decomposition of pyrite or other (metal-)iron sulphide minerals due to the action of surface waters. It is often found in mines as a post-mining formation on mine walls. Other iron sulphates such as halotrichite, pickeringite and rozenite etc., as well as the copper sulphate chalcanthite, are characteristic accompanying minerals.

May dehydrate to siderotil or rozenite.
Hammarstrom et al. (2005) noted that their melanterite-bearing samples that dehydrated to siderotil are Cu-rich relative to those that dehydrate to rozenite.

CAUTION: Melanterite is an indicator of the possible presence of sulphuric acid and should not be handled with bare hands or inhaled.

Optical Data of MelanteriteHide

Type:

Biaxial (+)

RI values:

n_α = 1.47 - 1.471 n_β = 1.4765 - 1.4795 n_γ = 1.486

2V:

Measured: 86° , Calculated: 80°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.015 - 0.016
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Moderate (negative)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

none

Other InformationHide

Notes:

Soluble in water

Health Risks:

Contains sulfuric acid - avoid contact with skin, especially wet or moist skin, use gloves. Always wash hands after handling. Avoid inhaling dust when handling or breaking. Never lick or ingest. Always treat decrepitated pyrite (pyrite disease) as melanterite / sulfuric acid.
