About SchulenbergiteHide

Formula:
(Cu,Zn)7(SO4)2(OH)10 · 3H2O
The Cu:Zn ratio may vary from about 4:3 to 6:1.
Formula previously given with "...(SO4,CO3)...".
Colour:
Light blue to blue-green.
Lustre:
Vitreous, Pearly
Hardness:
2
Specific Gravity:
3.28 - 3.42
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Name:
Named in 1984 by R. von Hodenberg, W. Krause, H. and Tauber, for the type locality - Oberschulenberg, Harz, Germany.
Very close to hodgesmithite (also trigonal and possibly sharing the space group), in which one of the seven metal sites is Zn-dominant. Chemically and structurally related to minohlite. See also 'UM1992-30-SO:CCuHZn' (the Zn analogue of schulenbergite) and Unnamed Cu-Zn Sulphate (of Schmutz et al.).
Difficult to resolve from chalcoalumite, particularly by chemistry only.
May appear visually similar to namuwite.

Optical Data of SchulenbergiteHide

Type:
Uniaxial (-)
RI values:
nω = 1.640 - 1.707 nε = 1.623 - 1.666
Birefringence:
0.055
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.017 - 0.041
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.

Surface Relief:
Very High (positive)
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.
In focus
Interference Figure:
This shows the idealized uniaxial interference figure - the conoscopic (convergent-light, Bertrand-lens-in) view, for a grain cut with the optic axis centred and vertical. The coloured rings are isochromatics, computed with the same physics as the Michel-Lévy bar above; the dark cross is the isogyre.

For a genuinely uniaxial mineral viewed this way, that cross stays perfectly stationary if you rotate the stage - unlike a biaxial mineral, where it splits apart on rotation. That invariance is itself the standard diagnostic test for telling uniaxial and biaxial minerals apart at the microscope.
Pleochroism:
Visible
Comments:
O = colorless, emerald-green to green; E = colorless to pale green.
