| Abstract/Notes | The new mineral grimmite, NiCo2S4, was found in siderite–sphalerite gangue at the dump of shaft no. 9, one of the mines in the abandoned Příbram uranium and base-metal district, central Bohemia, Czech Republic. The new mineral occurs as rare idiomorphic to hypidiomorphic grains up to 200 µm × 70 µm in size or veinlet aggregates. In reflected light, grimmite is creamy grey with a pinkish tint. Pleochroism, polarising colours and internal reflections were not observed. Reflectance values of grimmite in the air (R %) are 42.5 at 470 nm, 45.9 at 546 nm, 47.7 at 589 nm and 50.2 at 650 nm). The empirical formula for grimmite, based on electron-microprobe analyses (n= 13), is Ni1.01(Co1.99Fe0.06Pb0.01Bi0.01)Σ2.07S3.92. The ideal formula is NiCo2S4; requires Ni 19.26, Co 38.67, and S 42.07; and totals 100.00 wt %. According to the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (Robs=0.0489), grimmite is cubic, Fd–3m, a=9.3933(9), with V=828.81(14) Å3 and Z=8. The calculated density is 4.96 g cm−3. The strongest reflections of the calculated powder X-ray diffraction pattern [d, Å (I)(hkl)] are 3.3210 (75) (220), 2.7116 (7) (222), 2.3483 (81) (400), 1.9174 (27) (422), 1.6605 (100) (440), 1.4852 (11) (620) and 1.3558 (15) (444). Grimmite is named after Johann Grimm (24 June or 24 July 1805 to 26 June 1874), the former director of the Příbram Mining College. The association of sulfides and sulfarsenides was found with grimmite. Essentially non-zoned coarse-grained siderite encloses idiomorphic crystals and/or aggregates of red sphalerite I and zoned skutterudite-group minerals. Skutterudites (skutterudite, niklskutterudite and ferroskutterudite) are usually strongly corroded and replaced by younger phases. Relics of skutterudite are rimmed by nickeline and later on by gersdorffite with rare domains of glaucodot and arsenopyrite, whereas completely leached parts of skutterudite crystals are filled up by quartz containing small isolated grains and aggregates of pyrite, sphalerite II, grimmite, galena, ullmannite, bismuthinite, parkerite and jaipurite, the latter being rarely enclosed in grimmite. | ||
