Abstract/NotesThe new mineral species graulichite-(La), ideally LaFe33+(AsO4)2(OH)6, has been discovered in the Patte d'Oie mine, Bou Skour mining district, Morocco. It occurs as yellow rhombohedral crystals, up to 0.1 mm in size, with a resinous luster, associated with malachite, agardite-(La), conichalcite, and a still undetermined REE carbonate. Crystals are chemically zoned and two homogeneous domains were identified, corresponding to the empirical chemical formulae (calculated on the basis of 6 cations per formula unit, assuming the occurrence of 14 O atoms)
(La0.34Ce0.20Ca0.11Sr0.07Pb0.05K0.04)Σ0.81(Fe2.163+Al0.84Cu0.20)Σ3.20(As1.23P0.39S0.37)Σ1.99O14H6.13
(domain #1) and (La0.38Ce0.22Sr0.10Ca0.09Pb0.05K0.06)Σ0.90(Fe2.603+Al0.49Cu0.20)Σ3.29(As0.91P0.50S0.40)Σ1.81O14H6.53
(domain #2). Single-crystal unit-cell parameters are a=7.252(13), c=16.77(3) Å, V=764(3) Å3, space group R-3m. The eight strongest reflections in the observed X-ray powder diffraction pattern are (d in Å, visually estimated intensity): 5.86, medium; 3.045, strong; 2.511, medium-weak; 2.239, medium; 1.960, medium-weak; 1.813, medium-weak; 1.689, medium-weak; 1.478, medium. Graulichite-(La) belongs to the dussertite group within the alunite supergroup. It is the La analogue of graulichite-(Ce) and the Fe3+ analogue of arsenoflorencite-(La).
