Jean-Étienne Guettard
Formula:
Pb8(Sb0.56As0.44)16S32
Ordered arrangement of As and Sb atoms. Also written as PbAsSbS4.

Crystal System:
Monoclinic
Member of:
Name:
Named in honor of Jean-Etienne Guettard (1715-1786), French geologist, botanist and natural historian. He is credited with the creation of the first mineralogical-geological map known (western Europe) in 1746, Carte minéralogique du Canada et de la Louisiane (Eastern Canada and USA) in 1752, followed by the Atlas minéralogique de la France (with Lavoisier) in 1767, and the Carte minéralogique de la France in 1784. Guettard was a member of the Académie des Sciences from 1743, and is the author of La minéralogie du Dauphiné (1782).
Related to twinnite (Sb:As ~ 13:8, bit variable) and hyršlite (Sb:As = 6:10).

Other InformationHide

Notes:
HNO3 tarnishes guettardite black. KOH tarnishes it iridescent, leaving a flat brownish grey colour (as with twinnite). Reactions with other standard reagents are negative.
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
