robinsonite Min.|ˈrɒbɪnsənaɪt|
[f. the name of S. C. Robinson (b. 1911), Canadian geologist + -ite1.]
A bluish or grey lead antimony sulphide occurring as slender prismatic crystals and fibrous or compact masses.
1952L. G. Berry et al. in Amer. Mineralogist XXXVII. 438 The powder pattern obtained by Professor Peacock was found to be identical with one of several unidentified patterns obtained by Dr. S. C. Robinson at Queen's University during his investigation of the synthesis of lead antimony sulphides... The name robinsonite is given to this new mineral in honor of Dr. Robinson, whose synthesis made its identification possible. Ibid., Robinsonite occurs as a primary mineral with pyrite, sphalerite, stibnite, and boulangerite in small pieces in oxidized ore bodies at the Red Bird mercury mine, Pershing County, Nevada. 1973Canad. Mineralogist XII. 199/1 The Pb-Sb-S system..has been examined..between 300 and 700°C. Five phases have been synthesized: Phase I (3PbS:Sb2S3) stable between 642 and 605°C; boulangerite (5PbS:2Sb2S3) stable below 638°C; Phase II (3PbS:Sb2S3) stable between 603 and 405°C; robinsonite (6PbS:5Sb2S3) stable between 582° and 318°C; zinckenite (PbS:Sb2S3) stable below 545°C. Ibid. 205/2 Preservation of robinsonite, which appears to break down below 318°C, as a mineral is a perplexing problem; natural robinsonite may be stabilized by small amounts of impurities. |
