ARSENOPYRITE MINERAL

Listing description

What is Arsenopyrite?
Arsenopyrite is an iron arsenic sulfide. It is the most common arsenic mineral and the primary ore of arsenic metal.

Detailed description

Arsenopyrite is most often found as a hydrothermal vein mineral and sometimes as a mineral of contact metamorphism. It is sometimes referred to in old texts as "mispickel".

SPODUMENE [LiAl(SiO3)2]

Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminium inosilicate , Li Al ( Si O 3 ) 2 , and is a source of lithium. It occurs as colorless to yellowish, purplish, or lilac kunzite (see below), yellowish-green or emerald-green hiddenite , prismatic crystals, often of great size. Detailed d Single crystals of 14.3 m (47 ft) in size are reported from the Black Hills of South Dakota , United States . [5] [6] The normal low-temperature form α-spodumene is in the monoclinic system whereas the high-temperature β-spodumene crystallizes in the tetragonal system. The normal α-spodumene converts to β-spodumene at temperatures above 900 °C. [4] Crystals are typically heavily striated parallel to the principal axis. Crystal faces are often etched and pitted with triangular markings. Discovery and occurrence Spodumene was first des...

INDIUM ORE

Indium (pronounced /ˈ ɪ ndiəm/ IN-dee-əm ) is a chemical element with chemical symbol In and atomic number 49. This rare, very soft, malleable and easily fusible post-transition metal is chemically similar to aluminium or gallium . Zinc ores are the primary source of indium. It is named for the indigo blue line in its spectrum that was the first indication of its existence in ores, as a new and unknown element. Detailed description Indium's current primary application is to form transparent electrodes from indium tin oxide in liquid crystal displays and touchscreens , and this use largely determines its global mining production. It is widely used in thin-films to form lubricated layers (during World War II it was widely used to coat bearings in high-performance aircraft ). It is also used for making particularly low melting point alloys, and is a component in some lead-free solders. Radioactive indium-111 is used in indium leukocyte imaging , a nuclear medicine ...
