Sulpharsenites of lead from the Binnenthal. Part IV.—Seligmannite : with a supplementary note on Baumhauerite

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  14 March 2018

Extract

Professor Baumhauer, in January, 1901, described five very small crystals of a new mineral, to which he gave the name seligmannite. They were associated with rathite and binnite in dolomite, and came from the Lengenbach quarries in the Binnenthal, Switzerland. In June, 1902, he described another crystal, the angles of which agreed fairly well with those of the crystals he had previously measured. In habit and twinning, these orthorhombic crystals so closely resembled bournonite that he ventured to assign to the new mineral the chemical formula Cu2S.2PbS.As2S3, but from paucity of material he was unable to make a chemical analysis.
