Colour:

Bronze

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

3½

Specific Gravity:

6.6

Crystal System:

Isometric

Member of:

Seleniospinel Group > Spinel Supergroup

Name:

Informally named by S.C. Robinson in honor of Joseph Burr Tyrrell (November 1, 1858 Weston, Ontario, Canada - August 26, 1957), geologist, Geological Survey of Canada. Tyrrell was an early explorer and surveyor of northern Canada, especially the area between Lake Athabasca and Hudson Bay.

Robinson & Brooker (1952) gave a partial description of an unnamed selenide from Ato Bay (TL2), which according to Harris (1970) was later informally named tyrrellite by Robinson. The name appeared in Hey (1963) and Sendeeva (1964) without explanation. It was formally confirmed as a new species by Harris (1970), who completed the full description of the mineral on material from the Eagle claims (TL1) (Horváth 2003).

Isostructural with:

Nickeltyrrellite

Se analogue of carrollite and Co analogue of nickeltyrrellite. Unique combination of elements.

Occurs as small grains that look like clausthalite without the cleavage.
