This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
(Zn,Cu,Fe)13(In,Sn)3S16
Somewhat similar to sakuraiite. Also compare, e.g., 'UM1985-23-S:CuFeInZn' and 'Unnamed (Cu-Zn-In Sulphide)'.
As grains, ca. 10 µm in diameter, with chalcopyrite, in sphalerite; also in sharp contact with kësterite-sakuraiite solid solution.
Electron microprobe data, wt.% (empirical formula basis: 8 atoms pfu):
Cu 13.06
Ag 0.33
Fe 6.98
Zn 28.59
Sn 3.70
In 16.30
S 30.12
total 99.08
This corresponds to (Zn1.86Cu0.87Fe0.53Ag0.01)Σ3.27(In0.60Sn0.13)Σ0.73S3.99.
Note: a similar mineral is said to be reported in Am. Mineral. (1995): 80: 407.
