About ZinkeniteHide

Johann L. C. Zincken

Formula:

Pb₉Sb₂₂S₄₂

May contain very minor Cu (up to 1%, Makovicky, 1985); Biagioni et al. (2018) give the following formula for a Cu-bearing crystal: Cu_0.7Pb_9.7Sb_21.3S₄₂.

Colour:

Steel-grey

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

3 - 3½

Specific Gravity:

5.25 - 5.35

Crystal System:

Hexagonal

Name:

Named in 1826 by Gustav Rose in honour of Johann Ludwig Carl Zincken (spelled Zinken in later publications) (13 June 1791 (or 1790), Seesen, Braunschweig, Germany - 19 March 1862, Bernburg, Germany), mineralogist and mining geologist, and director of the "Anhalt-Bernburgischen Berg- und Hüttenwerke“ in Mägdesprung, who discovered the mineral.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Graf Jost-Christian Mine, Wolfsberg, Sangerhausen, Mansfeld-Südharz, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

The structure contains interconnected SbS₃ groups, also observed in, e.g., boulangerite, jamesonite, and robinsonite.

Chemistry of ZinkeniteHide

Mindat Formula:

Pb₉Sb₂₂S₄₂

May contain very minor Cu (up to 1%, Makovicky, 1985); Biagioni et al. (2018) give the following formula for a Cu-bearing crystal: Cu_0.7Pb_9.7Sb_21.3S₄₂.

Element Weights:

Element	% weight
Sb	45.477 %
Pb	31.659 %
S	22.864 %

Calculated from ideal end-member formula.

Elements listed:

Pb, S, Sb - search for minerals with similar chemistry

Common Impurities:

Ag,Cu,Fe,As

Crystallography of ZinkeniteHide

Crystal System:

Hexagonal

Class (H-M):

6 - Pyramidal

Space Group:

P6₃

Cell Parameters:

a = 22.12 Å, c = 4.31 Å

Ratio:

a:c = 1 : 0.195

Unit Cell V:

1,826.33 Å³ (Calculated from Unit Cell)

Morphology:

Crystals thin prismatic, and striated [0001] due, in part, to subparallel aggregation. Crystals seldom distinct. Columnar to radial fibrous aggregates; massive.

Comment:

Some crystals exhibit a superstructure with a doubled c parameter. Cell is also given as a = 44.15 c = 8.62 A.
