Monte Arsiccio mine dumps

Monte Arsiccio Mine, Sant'Anna di Stazzema, Stazzema, Lucca Province, Tuscany, Italy

Formula:

AgHg₂Tl(As,Sb)₂S₆

Colour:

Red

Lustre:

Metallic, Sub-Metallic

Hardness:

2 - 2½

Specific Gravity:

5.989 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Tetragonal

Member of:

Routhierite Group

Name:

The name is for the type locality, Monte Arsiccio mine, Apuan Alps, Tuscany, Italy

Type Locality:

ⓘ Monte Arsiccio Mine, Sant'Anna di Stazzema, Stazzema, Lucca Province, Tuscany, Italy

Isostructural with:

Routhierite

Unique elements combination.

Structure details: (1) framework of (Hg,Ag)-centered tetrahedra (1 M1 + 2 M2); (2) channels || [001] wiht TlS₆ and (As,Sb)S₃ disymmetric polyhedra.

Derived from routhierite according to the substitution M1Cu⁺ + M2Hg²⁺ → M1Hg²⁺ + M2Ag⁺. This substitution obeys a steric constraint, with Ag+, the largest cation, entering the largest site, M2.
