Marruccite, a rare Hg sulfosalt from the Gelnica ore deposit (Slovak Republic), and its comparison with the type occurrence at Bucca della Vena mine (Italy)
Original language description
The rare Hg-sulfosalt, marrucciite, with ideal formula Hg3Pb16Sb18S46, was found in the Gelnica ore deposit (Spišsko?Gemerské Rudohorie Mts., Slovak Republic). It occurs as acicular crystals up to 0.5 mm in length and fine-grained aggregates up to 1 mm in quartz (+siderite/dolomite) gangue in association with other sulfosalts (zinkenite, scainiite, boulangerite, chalcostibite, bournonite) and cinnabar. It is opaque, dark steel grey to greyish black, sometimes tarnished to a bronze-brown tint, has a darkgrey streak with a very weak reddish tint and a metallic luster. Marrucciite is very brittle but thin acicular crystals are flexible. One good cleavage parallel to the elongation of the crystals was observed. The VHN20g microhardness is 85 (69?101) kp/mm2 and corresponds to a Moh?s hardness of c. 2; the calculated density is 6.00 g.cm?3. In reflected light, marrucciite is white to greyish white with a weak yellowish tint, distinct bireflectance and white?white grey pleochroism.
