About SchirmeriteHide

Formula:

PbAgBi₃S₆ - Pb₃Ag_1.5Bi_3.5S₉

Formula originally suggested to be AgPb₂Bi₃S₇ by Karup-Møller (1973).

Colour:

Lead- to iron-gray

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

Crystal System:

Orthorhombic

Member of:

Lillianite Homologous Series Group

Name:

Named after Jacob Frederick L. Schirmer, Superintendent of the US Mint at Denver, Colorado. (See http://www.mindat.org/mesg-6-153088.html for discussion on origin of name).

First Recorded Locality:

ⓘ Treasury Vault Mine, Geneva Mining District, Park County, Colorado, USA

Makovicky and Karup-Møller (1977) redefine schirmerite from the type locality ("Type 2") as a disordered monoclinic phase with a composition intermediate between PbAgBi₃S₆ and Pb₃Ag_1.5Bi_3.5S₉. According to Moëlo et al. (2008) the composition is between those of gustavite and (Ag,Bi)-rich heyrovskýite; they state that such a disordered intergrowth is not a valid species. Schirmerite is currently a discredited species.

Moëlo et al. (2008) discuss whether schirmerite "Type 1" (as defined by Bortnikov et al., 1987) is equivalent to schapbachite or corresponds to an ordered dimorph.
