About: Cupalite

An Entity of Type: mineral, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Cupalite is a rare mineral which is mostly composed of copper and aluminium, but might contain up to several percent of zinc or iron; its chemical structure is therefore described by an approximate formula (Cu,Zn)Al or (Cu,Fe)Al. It was discovered in 1985 in placers derived from serpentine, in association with another rare mineral khatyrkite (CuAl2). Both minerals are thus far restricted to the area of the Iomrautvaam, in the Khatyrka ultramafic (silicon-poor) zone of the Koryak–Kamchatka fold area, Koryak Mountains, Anadyrsky District, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia. The mineral name derives from cuprum (Latin for copper) and aluminium. Its holotype (defining sample) is preserved in the Mining Museum in Saint Petersburg, and parts of it can be found in oth

dbo:abstract
  • La cupalita és un mineral de la classe dels elements natius. Rep el seu nom de la aeva composició química: coure i alumini. (ca)
  • Cupalit ist ein sehr selten vorkommendes Mineral aus der Mineralklasse der „Elemente (einschließlich natürliche Legierungen bzw. intermetallische Verbindungen, Carbide, Nitride, Phosphide und Silicide)“ mit der idealisierten chemischen Zusammensetzung CuAl und ist damit chemisch gesehen eine natürliche Legierung aus Kupfer und Aluminium im Stoffmengenverhältnis von 1 : 1. Natürlich entstandener Cupalit kristallisiert im orthorhombischen Kristallsystem und entwickelt myrmekitische (wurmförmige) bis dendritische oder tropfenförmige Körner von bis zu 35 μm Größe als Einschlüsse in Khatyrkit sowie unregelmäßig geformte Körner von bis zu 20 μm Größe in Rissen des Khatyrkits. Das Mineral ist in jeder Form undurchsichtig (opak) und weist auf den Oberflächen der graugelben Körner einen metallischen Glanz auf. (de)

  • La cupalite è un minerale rinvenuto lungo il torrente Listvenitovyi, in Russia, presso i monti dei Coriacchi, nel Circondario autonomo della Čukotka (Circondario federale dell'Estremo Oriente). Descritto nel 1985, il nome deriva dalla composizione chimica (Cuprum e Aluminium). (it)
