About StolziteHide

09695030017271926913906.jpg
Johann A. Stolz
Formula:
Pb(WO4)
Colour:
Reddish brown, brown, yellowish gray, smoky-gray, gray-brown, ostraw-yellow, lemon-yellow, orange-yellow, red or green (rare)
Lustre:
Sub-Adamantine, Resinous
Hardness:
2½ - 3

Tetragonal
Member of:
Name:
Named in honour of Johann Anton Stolz (11 June 1778, Prague - 17 August 1855, Teplice), physician and mineral collector from Teplice, Bohemia, Czech Republic. He spent much of his life interested in minerals and built an important collection. He provided the first specimen of stolzite for study.

Note: the mineral is NOT named for the physician Joseph Alexis Stolz (1803–1896) of France, as is reported by some other sources.
Dimorph of:
Stolzite-Wulfenite Series.
The tetragonal dimorph of raspite.

A rare secondary mineral in the oxidized zones of hydrothermal tungsten-bearing lead deposits.

Optical Data of StolziteHide

Type:
Uniaxial (-)
RI values:
nω = 2.27 nε = 2.18 - 2.19
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.080 - 0.090
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.
