1900 H. W. Turner in Mining & Sci. Press (San Francisco) 21 July 64/1 In addition to cinnabar, mercury occurs in the native form..and as yellow-green crystals. Prof. S. L. Penfield has identified the white coating as calomel or mercury chloride (Hg2Cl2), and the greenish crystals as an oxychloride of mercury, forming a new mineral species, for which I have suggested the name terlinguaite.
1903 A. J. Moses in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 166 259 Of the three possibly different substances to which the name terlinguaite has hitherto been applied we have..1st. The mineral here described. 2d. The undetermined rough yellow crystals mentioned in No. 5. 3d. The pulverulent yellow masses.
1903 A. J. Moses in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 166 259 Terlinguaite.—This name should be limited to the yellow monoclinic oxychloride of mercury here described.
1932 Amer. Mineralogist 17 541 The mineral [sc. mosesite] was found in association with eglestonite, terlinguaite, montroydite and kleinite in the quick~silver mining district [of Texas].
1964 Mineral. Abstr. 16 619/1 The ore deposit is in Upper Cretaceous liparites and tuffs [in Kamchatka, U.S.S.R.]. Brief descriptions..are given for native mercury, calomel, eglestonite, terlinguaite, and mosesite.
