Abstract

Heyrovskýite has a composition range from 6(Pb0.83Bi0.10(Ag, Cu)0.07) S . Bi2S3 to 6(Pb0.92Bi0.05(Ag, Cu)0.03) S . Bi2S3. It is orthorhombic. Crystal forms {100}, {010}, {120}, {140}, {250}, and {321} (?) were observed; {010} and {140} are dominant. Elongated c, flattened (010). a:b:c morph=0.432:1:0.128. Cell parameters a=13.705±0.013 Å, b=31.194±0.033, c=4.121±0.003, a:b:c X-ray=0.439:1:0.132. The diffraction symbol is Bb, compatible with Bbmm, Bb21 m, Bbm2. Morphology corresponds to point groups mmm or mm2, reducing the possible space groups to Bbmm and Bbm2. Density at 20 °C is 7.17 g/cm3, calculated, 7.18; Z=4. Micro-indentation hardness (VHN) (50 g load) is 166 to 234 kp/mm2. Strongly anisotropic; reflectance strongly variable, roughly the same as of galena. Etch tests: HNO3 (1:1) and HCl (1:1) positive, FeCl3 20%, HgCl2 5%, KCN 20%, and KOH 40% all negative. Powder data are identical with those for phase II of Otto and Strunz (1968). Heyrovskýite is associated with galena and cosalite at Hůrky, Czechoslovakia.

Zusammenfassung

Die Zusammensetzung des Heyrovskýits bewegt sich zwischen 9(Pb0.83Bi0.10 (Ag, Cu)0.07) S . Bi2S3 und 6(Pb0.92Bi0.05(Ag, Cu)0.03)S . Bi2S3. Das Mineral ist rhombisch. Die Kristallformen {100}, {010}, {120}, {140}, {250} und {321} (?) wurden beobachtet; {010} und {140} überherrschen. Längserstreckung (c), tafelig nach (010). a:b:c=0.432:1:0.128. Die Gitterkonstanten a 0=13.705±0.013 Å, b 0=31.194±0.033, c 0=4.121±0.003, a 0:b 0:c 0=0.439:1:0.132. Die Auslöschungen entsprechen der Raumgruppen Bbmm, Bb21 m oder Bbm2. Die Morphologie stimmt mit der Symmetrieklassen mmm oder mm2 ein, was für die Raumgruppen Bbmm und Bbm2 spricht. D(20 °C)=7.17 g/cm3, ber. 7.18; Z=4. Mikro-Eindruckhärte (VHN) (Gewicht 50 g) variiert zwischen 166 und 234 kp/mm2. Stark anisotrop; das Reflexionsvermögen schwankt und ist mit dem des Bleiglanzes ungefähr gleich. Ätzverhalten: Positiv HNO3 (1:1) und HCl (1:1); negativ FeCl3 20%, HgCl2 5%, KCN 20% und KOH 40%. Das Pulverdiagramm ist mit dem der Phase II von Otto und Strunz (1968) identisch. Heyrovskýit kommt mit Bleiglanz und Cosalit in Hůrky, Böhmen, vor.
