In this study, we developed detailed petrographic and geochemical research on tourmaline-bearing rocks and tourmalinites found surrounding the ca. 3.30 Ga rhyolite of the Gavião Block, northern São Francisco Craton. Two distinct types of mineral assemblages in the tourmaline-bearing rocks are recognized based on the presence of sulfides, oxide minerals, and carbonaceous matter. Along with these tourmaline-bearing rocks, tourmalinite samples are found. The mineral chemistry of tourmalines from the two types of tourmaline-bearing rocks reveals mainly schorl-dravite as tourmaline from a mineral assemblage containing quartz, tourmaline, pyrite, and hematite, and a diverse composition ranging from schorl-dravite, feruvite-uvite, and schorl-feruvite solid solutions for tourmalines present in the mineral assemblage that contains quartz, pyrite, and carbonaceous matter. The tourmaline composition is essentially foitite-schorl in tourmalinite samples. Most of the metasedimentary rocks studied have felsic and mafic source compositions. The interaction of hydrothermal fluid was crucial for the formation of sulfide and tourmaline minerals. However, distinct tourmaline origins are recognized in tourmaline-rich rocks, pointing out the relevance of sedimentary and metamorphic processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140156200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its lode is characteristically brecciated in a host rock that shows no cataclastic fabric. The host rock is itabirite, a metamorphosed banded iron formation.

At the type locality, the dump of an abandoned small copper-lead-zinc mine, the mineral occurs frequently in up to ⁓2 mm long clear colourless idiomorphic hexagonal prisms {100} terminated by the bipyramid {101}. Details of the occurrence, paragenesis, physical properties, a FTIR spectrum and X-ray powder diffraction data are reported. Chemical analysis in a scanning electron microscope in conjunction with a crystal structure analysis gave the empirical formula Pb 3.02 Sb 1.06 (SO 4 ) 0.96 (AsO 4 ) 0.97 (OH) 6 ·3H 2 O. An ab-initio crystal structure determination with CCD diffractometer data, Mo K α radiation, and a nearly untwinned crystal proved that mallestigite is hexagonal, space group P 6 3 , a = 8.9326(4), c = 11.1044(5) Å, V = 767.33(8) Å 3 , Z = 2, and gave a final R 1 = 0.0184 for 1632 independent reflections with I > 2σ( I ). Mallestigite belongs to the fleischerite group. The structure is built up from [Sb 5+ (OH) 6 ] 1– octahedra which are linked by triplets of edge-sharing Pb 2+ into chains [Pb 3 Sb(OH) 6 ] 5+ extending along a 6 3 axis. Each three of such chains are bridged by triplets of H 2 O and by rows of SO 4 2– and AsO 4 3– tetrahedra alternating along a 3-fold axis and showing very different links to the Pb atom. Pb 2+ is in a strongly distorted one-sided [9]-coordination by O atoms that makes the structure clearly hemimorphic. Structural relationships to the fleischerite group minerals schaurteite, genplesite, despujolsite and fleischerite as well as to synthetic Ba 3 Sn 4+ (SeO 4 ) 2 (OH) 6 ·3H 2 O are outlined and changes in the space group symmetry of despujolsite ( P $$overline6$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"> <mml:mover> <mml:mn>6</mml:mn> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:math> 2c → P 6 3 / mmc ) and fleischerite ( P $$overline6$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"> <mml:mover> <mml:mn>6</mml:mn> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:math> 2c → P 6 3 ) are proposed.","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135980599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
