Linarite from
Sur les Roches quarry, Bastogne, Luxembourg, Wallonia, Belgium


Locality type:Quarry
Classification
Species:Linarite
Formula:PbCu(SO4)(OH)2
Comments:"Linarite forms fan-like aggregates of tiny tabular crystals up to 500 µm, and a light blue color. The mineral is closely associated with cerussite and chalcopyrite. X-ray powder data are similar to these of linarite from the Mammoth mine, Arizona, USA (JCPDS 30-493). Chemical analysis reveals major Cu, Pb and S with low proportions of Cl." (Hatert et al., 2000)
Confirmation
Validity:Confirmed
Confirmation Methods:XRD
