| + | | Аннотация = The new occurrences of solid bituminous substances (SBS) have been found in peralkline pegmatites of the | ||
| + | Khibiny massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia. Mineral assemblages containing rounded and droplike segregations | ||

| + | and REE minerals frequently occur within the SBS segregations. The new findings confirm a hypothesis of catalytic | ||
| + | role of the zeolitelike titanium, niobium, and zirconium silicates to form SBS, as well as key role of | ||
| + | organic matters to transfer and concentrate Th and REE during hydrothermal stage of the pegmatite formation. | ||
| + | At final stage, most thorium and part of REE incorporate into mineral phases, which saturate SBS, whereas Ca | ||

| + | | Аннотация = Complex uraniumvanadium ores with Mo, Cu, Bi and Pb from the Onega deposits, which contain large reserves | ||
| + | of vanadium and probably noble metals (Pd, Au, Ag, Pt), are limited by nearsurface and deepseated bedded oxidized | ||
| + | zones. In addition, deep joint oxidized zone and hydrothermal roscoelite–chromceladonite–dolomite | ||
| + | veinlets occur at the deposits. The highest contents (much higher than 10 ppm) of noble metals have been identified | ||
| + | in these veinlets. Minerals of noble metals are native gold, selenides, less frequent selenidesulfides, tellurides, | ||
| + | and compounds with bismuth, lead, and other elements. Redeposited native copper, auricupride, native platinum, | ||
| + | froodite, isoferoplatinum, palladium analogue of auricupride, the new natural phase, and the phase AuO(OH) have | ||
| + | been identified in the oxidized zones with the highest contents of noble metals. Gold segregations from the | ||
| + | nearsurface oxidized zone of low noblemetal content (lower than 10 ppm) are fine clusters up to 0.1 µm in size. | ||
| + | In the upper part of the deepseated oxidized zone, gold occurs as broken spindleshaped 23 µm particles. Close | ||
| + | to the intermediate part of the deepseated oxidized zone, gold crystals are disseminated in blades of native copper | ||
| + | that reach several tens of µm in size.<br> | ||
| + | The results obtained confirm previous assumption on the probable increase in noblemetal reserves adjacent to | ||

Ferroskutterudite, Nickelskutterudite, and Skutterudite from the Norilsk Ore Field, p. 16 - 27
CoNiFe triarsenides skutterudite, nickelskutterudite and ferroskutterudite have been identified in the Norilsk ore field for the first time. They are hosted in the apophyllite–anhydrite–dolomite–calcite metamorphic hydrothermal veins that occur within the proximal zone of the magmatic CoNiCu sulfide ores, which have been affected by epigenetic prehnitepumpellyite and zeolite facies metamorphism. The CoNiFe triarsenides have overgrown the CoNi diarsenide segregations with which they form complex intergrowths. Both skutterudite and nickelskutterudite, and skutterudite and ferroskuterudite, from Norilsk form continuous isomorphic series. Clear negative correlation between Ni and Fe and strong positive correlation between Co and Fe and Co and S have been identified. читать далее...

The New Finds of Pertsevite, p. 28 - 32
A revision of samples and thin sections collections of kotoitebearing rocks by optics and Electron Micro Probe methods has permited to find two new occurrences of pertsevite Mg2(B,Si)(O,F,OH)4. In comparison with the pertsevite holotype having a rather broad meaning of B/Si the new founds of the mineral are more homogeneous in XSi 0.12–0.20 in the sample from Titovskoye deposit, East Verkhoyansk region, and 0.24–0.32 from Gonochan deposit (Djugdjur Ridge, near Okhotsk Sea Coast). The last has the predominance of hydroxile over fluorine. The compositions of accompanied minerals – kotoite, ludwigite and humite group minerals have been studied and presented as well. Pertsevite was formed after kotoite and clinohumite with their reciprocal replacement owing to their chemical interaction. читать далее...

New Data on Mineral Assemblages with Bituminous Matter in Pegmatites of the Khibiny Massif, p. 33 - 42
The new occurrences of solid bituminous substances (SBS) have been found in peralkline pegmatites of the Khibiny massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia. Mineral assemblages containing rounded and droplike segregations of SBS ranging from 1 to 10 mm in size are described. In most cases, SBS are ingrown into the grains of microporous titanium, niobium, and zirconium silicates and locally overgrow their surface. Microinclusions of Th and REE minerals frequently occur within the SBS segregations. The new findings confirm a hypothesis of catalytic role of the zeolitelike titanium, niobium, and zirconium silicates to form SBS, as well as key role of organic matters to transfer and concentrate Th and REE during hydrothermal stage of the pegmatite formation. At final stage, most thorium and part of REE incorporate into mineral phases, which saturate SBS, whereas Ca (occasionally together with part of Th and REE) remains in organic phase as carboxylate salts and/or organometallic compounds. читать далее...

Features of Occurrence and Distribution of Noble Metals in Ores and Oxidized Zone of the Onega Uranium-Vanadium Deposits, South Karelia, p. 43 - 49
Complex uraniumvanadium ores with Mo, Cu, Bi and Pb from the Onega deposits, which contain large reserves
of vanadium and probably noble metals (Pd, Au, Ag, Pt), are limited by nearsurface and deepseated bedded oxidized
zones. In addition, deep joint oxidized zone and hydrothermal roscoelite–chromceladonite–dolomite
veinlets occur at the deposits. The highest contents (much higher than 10 ppm) of noble metals have been identified
in these veinlets. Minerals of noble metals are native gold, selenides, less frequent selenidesulfides, tellurides,
and compounds with bismuth, lead, and other elements. Redeposited native copper, auricupride, native platinum,
froodite, isoferoplatinum, palladium analogue of auricupride, the new natural phase, and the phase AuO(OH) have
been identified in the oxidized zones with the highest contents of noble metals. Gold segregations from the
nearsurface oxidized zone of low noblemetal content (lower than 10 ppm) are fine clusters up to 0.1 µm in size.
In the upper part of the deepseated oxidized zone, gold occurs as broken spindleshaped 23 µm particles. Close
to the intermediate part of the deepseated oxidized zone, gold crystals are disseminated in blades of native copper
that reach several tens of µm in size.
The results obtained confirm previous assumption on the probable increase in noblemetal reserves adjacent to
explored uraniumvanadium deposits. читать далее...

Grossular, Vesuvianite and Achtarandite Mineralogy of the Talnakh Region, p. 50 - 61
Achtarandite, the pseudomorph after unknown mineral is a minerlogical enigma. The second locality of
achtarandite described in Talnakh region, Otdel'naya mountain, by its mineral assocaition is an analogue of
the typelocality in Yakutia republic, Wiluy river valley. The comprehensive investigation was applied to the
rockforming minerals – grossular, vesuvianite and achtarandite, and also to the mineral and fluid inclusions
enclosed.
The experimental modelling of Cl-containing mayenite – the achtarandite proto-mineral synthesis was carried
out.
It is established that the specific mineral association containing achtarandite happened during two stages:
skarn and aposkarn. During the first stage there were formed central parts of garnet and vesuvianite crystals,
fassaite which remained as inclusions in vesuvianite, and Cl-containing mayenite. During the second stage
there were formed edges of garnet and vesuvianite crystals, amesite, titanite, mackinawite, and Cl-containing
mayenite was replaced by achtarandite. читать далее...

Features of Transformation of Mineral Paragenetic Assemblages from Copper Sulfide Ores of the Krasnov Hydrothermal field (16°38’ N Mid-Atlantic Ridge), p. 62 - 76
Copper sulfide ores of the 5–80 thousands age from the Krasnov relic hydrothermal field (16°38', Mid-Atlantic
Ridge) have been studied with optical microscope, electron microscope equipped with energy dispersion system
(SEM-EDS), electron microprobe, and X-ray diffraction.
According to the mineralogy, three types of paragenetic assemblages are recognized. Type I is homogeneous
isocubanite with Cu-rich sulfides (bornite and copper sulfides of the chalcocite-digenite series). Type II is exsolved
isocubanite and its unique products of subsequent transformation. Type III is oxide-sulfate-sulfide, which is characterized
by iron specialization and is divided into two subtypes: with predominant pyrite (IIIa) and with predominant
Fe-Cu sulfates and Fe oxides (IIIb). Type III contains relics of the highly modified type II paragenesis. The
age relationship of type I has not been established. читать далее...

Codification of Unnamed Minerals, p. 77 - 79
The Subcommittee for Unnamed Minerals of the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC, formerly CNMMN) has developed a codification system that includes the year of publication and qualitative chemical composition for unnamed minerals reported in the literature. Such minerals are divided into two categories: Those regarded as being "valid as unnamed minerals" are those that do not correspond to existing species, have not been reported previously, and whose published descriptions enable them to be recognized if found elsewhere. Unnamed minerals regarded as being "invalid as unnamed minerals" are those whose published descriptions are inadequate for their confident recognition if found elsewhere, or which correspond to existing mineral species or unnamed minerals published previously. читать далее...

New Data on Megacyclite, p. 81 - 92
The second and the third occurrences of megacyclite KNa8Si9O18(OH)9·19H2O in two alkaline massifs of Kola Peninsula, Russia are described. This mineral occurs as abundant late hydrothermal veinlets up to 1.5 mm thick and rare prismatic individual crystals up to 1.5 cm long, hosted in a large peralkaline pegmatite in association with microcline, aegirine, sodalite, lamprophyllite, lomonosovite, shcherbakovite, villiaumite, delhayelite, phosinaite(Ce), clinophosinaite, natisite, lovozerite, tisinalite, nacaphite, rasvumite, and revdite at Mt. Rasvumchorr, Khibiny massif. In the Lovozero massif, megacyclite have been found in the Palitra pegmatite at Mt. Kedykverpakhk as white and yellowish brown spherulites up to 2 mm in diameter together, with revdite and zakharovite with microcline and natrosilite in cavities. The chemical composition of megacyclite from Khibiny is as follows: wt %: 3.69 K2O, 19.85 Na2O, 42.74 SiO2, 33.03 H2O, total 99.31. The empirical formula calculated on the basis of [Si9(O,OH)27] is as follows: K0.99Na8.11Si9O18.10(OH)8.90·18.75H2O. The IR-spectrum and X-ray powder diffraction pattern are reported. The crystal structure of megacylite has been refined to Rhkl = 0.0339 for 8206 unique reflections with I > Ϭ2 (I). The mineral is monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 24.8219(16), b = 11.9236(8), c = 14.8765(9) Å, β = 94.486(5)°; V = 4389.5(5) Å3.

Is this a Regal Engagement? On the Mineral Collection of The Throne Crown Prince, p. 132 - 137
The collection which was transferred in 1923 from the Museum of the City (St. Petersburg) to the Fersman
Mineralogical Museum was collected in the 1870s, during the reign of Alexander II. Initially, it was created for
Alexander Alexandrovich, the Crown Prince (future Tsar Alexander III), then was enlarged and completed for
Nikolai Alexandrovich (future Tsar Nikolai II) and likely used in his education.
The contents of the collection, the geographical distribution of its samples, and principles of their systematization
enable us to reconstruct the state of mining and the level of Russian mineralogy in the middle of the nineteenth
century. читать далее...
