Stunorthropite

stunorthropite

Formula
(NH4)4[Mo2O6(MoO4)2]
Sturmanite, Ettringite Locality: N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa (Locality at mindat.org) A brilliantly yellow, lemon-colored, nearly-2-cm crystal is perched atop a knoll of matrix. The large crystal is sturmanite, and the smaller yellow specks in the matrix are probably ettringite - though often the same crystal may host both species in a transitional mix and its hard to say for sure without proper analysis. Surpassingly aesthetic! These came from a small series of finds, now some 20 years ago, and have not been found in this quality since. 4.9 x 4 x 3.6 cm Mineral

Stützite, Tellurium Locality: Moctezuma Mine (Bambolla Mine), Moctezuma, Municipio de Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 3.7 x 3.3 x 1.7 cm. A rare silver telluride! This specimen is composed of a really rich coating of surface-laying, splendent, metallic-gray crystals of stützite upon the typical Moctezuma mine matrix enriched in native tellurium. Additionally, there may be tetradymite present as well: three very rare species, all having tellurium in their formula. Mineral
