#5 - Principle of Parsimony
• # of contrasting elements are small because there are few anion or cation sites
• Complex compositions tend toward several constituents (cations) in the same kind of site
• This is termed solid solution: Fe for Mg, Si for Al, Ca for Na (definite not exact compositions)
• Goldschmidt’s rules say ions have to be similar size +/-15% and +/- 1 charge unit

The term fluorescence isderived from fluorite,
which will often exhibit this effect when Y & CeSubstitute for Ca ions

Mineral Names - Trivial Pursuits!
Halite – Greek, halos for salt, mineral of health
Fluorite – Latin fleure to flow, melts easily, flux
Sphalerite – Greek treacherous, zincblende,German “blind”, decieving,rubyzinc or blackjack

Sphalerite
• Think about those empty octahedra of Zn!• X3 to x10 thermal and electrical conductivity
compared to other sulphides• With Fe substitution, darkens (blackjack), reflects
more & enhances magnetic susceptibility• w/ Pyrrhotite Fe1-xS, Fe-Zn a geothermometer,• Main ore of Cd, isostructural w/Greenockite CdS
• alters to Goslarite ZnSO3 or Smithsonite ZnCO3

Parsimony - Complex compositions tend toward several constituents (cations) in the same
kind of site
• Monoclinic Amphiboles:
• Hornblende, Richterite, Actinolite, Tremolite, Glaucophane, Riebeckite
• (Ca,Na)2-3(Mg,Fe,Al)5Si6(Si,Al)2O22(OH)2
• For chemical calculations sometimes O23

Isostructural Minerals
• UO2 & CaF2 (Uraninite & Fluorite, Oct/Tet) (different in solutions, Linear & Oct/Cubic, different energy or they wouldn’t dissolve!)
• NaCl Halite & MgO Periclase & PbS Galena & MnS Alabandite & AgCl Chlorargyrite & TiN Osbornite (named after Donny & Marie?)
• Stishovite SiO2 & Rutile TiO2 are both octahedral, for Silicon this takes GPa’s of P
• Isostructural Groups: Barite (sulphates), Calcite (Carbonates) Aragonite (Carbonates)
