About: Szenicsite

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

Szenicsite is a copper hydroxy molybdate mineral, named after husband and wife Terry and Marissa Szenics, American mineral collectors who found the first specimens. When it was first discovered in Atacama, Chile, it was thought to be lindgrenite. The occurrence appeared in an isolated area, which was about one cubic meter in size. The mineral occurred in cavities of copper bearing powellite and matrix rich molybdenite. These cavities were filled with a material resembling clay. Outside of the zone the szenicsite crystals grew, copper levels seemed to decrease, and the mineralization changed to lindgrenite. Moving further from the zone, the minerals growing seemed to be lacking copper, and consisted of powellite blebs in the ore. Szenicsite was approved by the IMA in 1993.

dbo:abstract
  • La szenicsita és un mineral de la classe dels sulfats. Rep el seu nom de Terry (1947) i Marissa (1950) Szenics, col·leccionistes de minerals nord-americans. (ca)
  • Szenicsit ist ein seltenes Mineral aus der Mineralklasse der „Sulfate (einschließlich Selenate, Tellurate, Chromate und Wolframate)“. Es kristallisiert im rhombischen Kristallsystem mit der Zusammensetzung Cu3(MoO4)(OH)4, ist also ein Kupfer-Molybdat mit vier zusätzlichen Hydroxidionen. Szenicsit bildet hauptsächlich dünntafelige Kristalle von maximal 3 cm Größe, die zu fächerförmig angeordneten Aggregaten verwachsen sind, findet sich daneben aber auch in Form von Kluftfüllungen von circa 5 mm Mächtigkeit in einer hydrothermal alterierten Granitmatrix. Die Typlokalität des Szenicsit ist das heute stillliegende, ehemals sekundäre Kupfererze abbauende Bergwerk „Jardinera No. 1“ (Koordinaten des Kupferbergwerk Jardinera No. 1) bei Inca de Oro, Provinz Chañaral, Región de Atacama (Region III), Chile.
