Thebaite-(NH 4 ), (NH 4 ,K) 3 Al(C 2 O 4 )(PO 3 OH) 2 (H 2 O), a new phosphate–oxalate mineral from the Rowley mine, Arizona, USA

Thebaite-(NH 4 ), (NH 4 ,K) 3 Al(C 2 O 4 )(PO 3 OH) 2 (H 2 O), is a new mineral species (IMA2020-072) from the Rowley mine, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. It occurs in an unusual bat-guano-related, post-mining assemblage of phases that include a variety of vanadates, phosphates, oxalates and chlorid...

description Thebaite-(NH 4 ), (NH 4 ,K) 3 Al(C 2 O 4 )(PO 3 OH) 2 (H 2 O), is a new mineral species (IMA2020-072) from the Rowley mine, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. It occurs in an unusual bat-guano-related, post-mining assemblage of phases that include a variety of vanadates, phosphates, oxalates and chlorides, some containing NH 4 + . Other secondary minerals found in association with thebaite-(NH 4 ) are antipinite, vanadinite and at least one other new mineral. Crystals of thebaite-(NH 4 ) are colourless blades up to ~0.1 mm in length. The streak is white, lustre is vitreous, Mohs hardness is 1½–2, tenacity is brittle and fracture is splintery. There are two good cleavages in the [010] zone, probably {100} and {10 $\bar{2}$ }. The calculated density is 2.093 g⋅cm –3 . Thebaite-(NH 4 ) is optically biaxial (–) with α = 1.490(2), β = 1.534(2), γ = 1.570(2) (white light); 2V = 82.7(5)°; slight r > v dispersion; and orientation X = b , Y ^ c = 13° in obtuse β. Electron microprobe analysis gave the empirical formula [(NH 4 ) 2.12 K 0.69 Na 0.20 ] Σ3.01 (Al 0.84 Fe 3+ 0.11 V 3+ 0.04 ) Σ0.99 (C 2 O 4 )[(P 0.98 Si 0.02 )O 3 OH] 2 (H 2 O), with the C, N and H contents constrained by the crystal structure. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of NH 4 and C 2 O 4 . Thebaite-(NH 4 ) is monoclinic, P 2 1 / c , with a = 11.156(9), b = 6.234(6), c = 18.651(16) Å, β = 102.928(15)°, V = 1264.2(19) Å 3 and Z = 4. The structural unit in the crystal structure of thebaite-(NH 4 ) ( R 1 = 0.0612 for 863 I o > 2σ I reflections) is a double-strand chain of corner-sharing AlO 6 octahedra and PO 3 OH tetrahedra decorated by additional PO 3 OH tetrahedra and C 2 O 4 groups. The decorated chains connect to one another through bonds to NH 4 + and K + and through hydrogen bonds.
