Abstract
Abstract. Pleysteinite,
[(H2O)0.5K0.5]2Mn2Al3(PO4)4F2(H2O)10 ⚫ 4H2O, is the aluminium analogue of benyacarite, from the
Hagendorf-Süd pegmatite, Oberpfalz, Bavaria, Germany. It was found in
specimens of altered zwieselite, in association with nordgauite, fluellite,
rockbridgeite, pyrite and columbite. Pleysteinite occurs as isolated and
small aggregates of colourless, stubby prisms that are typically 10 to 30 µm wide and up to 100 µm long. The crystals are flattened on
{010} and bounded by {111}, {100} and {001} planes. The calculated density is 2.34 g cm−3. Optically, pleysteinite crystals are biaxial (+), with α=1.566(2), β=1.580(2), γ=1.600(2) (measured in
white light) and 2V(meas.) = 80(1)∘. The empirical formula from
electron microprobe analyses and structure refinement is
[(H2O)0.50K0.50]2(Mn1.20Mg0.49Fe0.272+Zn0.05)∑2.01(Al1.63Fe0.203+Ti0.194+)∑2.02(Al0.56Ti0.444+)
(PO4)4.02[F0.58O0.31(OH)0.11]2(H2O)10 ⚫ 3.92H2O. Pleysteinite has orthorhombic symmetry, with space group
Pbca and unit-cell parameters a = 10.4133(8) Å, b=20.5242(17) Å, c=12.2651(13) Å,
V=2621.4(4) Å3 and Z=4. The crystal structure was refined
using single-crystal data to wRobs=0.054 for 1692 reflections with
I>3σ(I). The crystal structure contains corner-connected
linear trimers of Al-centred octahedra that share corners with PO4
tetrahedra to form 10-member rings parallel to (010). K+ cations and
water molecules are located in the rings. Additional corner-sharing of the
PO4 tetrahedra with Mn(H2O)4O2 octahedra occurs along
[010] to complete the 3D framework structure.
期刊介绍:
EJM was founded to reach a large audience on an international scale and also for achieving closer cooperation of European countries in the publication of scientific results. The founding societies have set themselves the task of publishing a journal of the highest standard open to all scientists performing mineralogical research in the widest sense of the term, all over the world. Contributions will therefore be published primarily in English.
EJM publishes original papers, review articles and letters dealing with the mineralogical sciences s.l., primarily mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, crystallography and ore deposits, but also biomineralogy, environmental, applied and technical mineralogy. Nevertheless, papers in any related field, including cultural heritage, will be considered.
