About TiemanniteHide

00917100017271927212521.jpg
Ferdinand Tiemann
Formula:
HgSe
Colour:
Steel-gray to black
Lustre:
Metallic
Hardness:
2½
Specific Gravity:
8.19 - 8.47
Crystal System:
Isometric
Name:
Named after Johann Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand Tiemann (10 June 1848, Rübeland, Kingdom of Hanover (now Germany) - 14 November 1899, Merano, Austria-Hungary (now Italy)), „Hütteneleve auf der Zorge“, and chemist in Berlin who had found the mineral in 1828. However, J.K.L. Zincken already mentioned "Quecksilberselen" in 1825.

NOTE: The above is what we had on record until this discussion:
https://www.mindat.org/mesg-621295.html

It seems more plausible that this mineral was indeed named after Wilhelm Albrecht Tiemann (1774-1841), grandfather of the above.

Needs more investigation.
Sphalerite Group.

Forms a series with metacinnabar.
