Who was who? In names of secondary minerals discovered in Jachymov (Joachimsthal) (original) (raw)

Who was who in Jachymov mineralogy II

2003

The paper presents biographic data of persons, after whom new primary minerals discovered at Jáchymov were named (K. Sternberg, W. H. Miller, G. A. Krutov), as well as the recently discovered secondary minerals (J. Vajdák, J. Èejka, J. venek). Biographies of scientists who described new minerals from Jáchymov are given in the following part (F. E. Brückmann, I. Born, A. G. Werner, H. Dauber, G. A. Kenngott, W. Sartorius v. Waltershausen, F. Sandberger, R. Nováèek, R. A. Vinogradova). Biographies of persons who significantly contributed to mineralogy of the Jáchymov ore district are presented in the last section (F. Babánek, J. tìp, R. Zückert, R. P. Dubinkina, R. V. Geceva, F. Mròa, M. Komárek, D. Pavlù). This contribution is a continuation of the 1997 article Who was who? In names of secondary minerals discovered in Jáchymov [561] dealing exclusively with secondary minerals.

History of secondary minerals discovered in Jáchymov (Joachimsthal)

Journal of the Czech …, 1997

Jáchymov is type locality for 22 minerals, including 17 secondary minerals. Data on history of discovery and description of new minerals was extracted by search in old literature. Minerals are arranged in the chronological sequence of discovery. Explanation of names of discredited or redefined minerals and some historical names is included at the end of this paper.

History of discovery and study of new primary minerals at Jachymov

Journal of Geosciences, 2003

Jáchymov is the type locality for the following primary minerals: argentopyrite, krutovite, millerite, sternbergite, and uraninite. The history of their discovery is described in this contribution. The paper sums up the history of discovery of other type minerals at Jáchymov [560].

Secondary minerals of the Jachymov (Joachimsthal) ore district

Journal of Geosciences, 1997

Two hundred and seven secondary mineral species are described and/or referenced. Approximately seventy secondary minerals were known from the district before the present study. All known reliable data on the individual secondary minerals from Jáchymov are presented. New and more complete X-ray powder diffraction data for compreignacite, irhtemite, lavendulan, lindackerite, masuyite, mcnearite, metaschoepite, mottramite, rabbittite, rabejacite, richetite, sodium-zippeite, voglite, zellerite, zippeite, and zýkaite are presented. A list of secondary minerals arranged according to chemical composition and list of "non-secondary" minerals are included at the end of this paper.

Primary minerals of the Jachymov ore district

Journal of Geosciences, 2003

One hundred and seventeen primary mineral species are described and/or referenced. Approximately seventy primary minerals were known from the district before the present study. All known reliable data on the individual minerals from Jáchymov are presented. New and more complete X-ray powder diffraction data for argentopyrite, sternbergite, and an unusual (Co,Fe)-rammelsbergite are presented. The following chapters describe some unknown minerals, erroneously quoted minerals and imperfectly identified minerals. The present work increases the number of all identified, described and/or referenced minerals in the Jáchymov ore district to 384.

The Malmberget iron mine , Sweden A world class mineral locality

2016

The Malmberget iron mine near Gallivare, Lappland, Sweden has produced a series of well crystallised, interesting mineral species since the end of the Hi century. Since the 1980's the author has documented and participated in some discoveries of exceptional crystals such as hematite, calcite, fluorite, sti/bite, stellerite, pyrite, fluorapatite, quartz, feldspars, ferrohornblende, chalcopyrite, titanite etc. It should be noted that during most of the last two decades, primarily a couple of miners have had the license from the mining company to recover mineral specimens. These miners, together with the miners giving them tips of encountered pockets, and the positive attitude of the LKAB mining company to restricted mineral specimen recovery, are the true heroes of saving world class specimens and thus have been vital in making Malmberget a world renowned locality among connoiseurs. Geology Northern Sweden has several of the worlds largest and richest magnetite deposits of magmati...

New naturally occurring phases of secondary origin from Jachymov (Joachimsthal)

Journal of Geosciences, 1997

This paper describes thirty inorganic compound-secondary mineral phases-found in the nature for the first time. All compounds come from the Jáchymov ore district. All up-to-now available physical and chemical data and references to appropriate literature are given. Crystal structure of phase [ (MoO 2) 2 As 2 O 5 (H 2 O) 2 ]. H 2 O was solved and refined, crystal structures of Ca(H 2 AsO 4) 2 and Mg-villyaellenite were refined by the Rietveld method.
