Albarradón Mine, Albarradón, Mun. de Concepción del Oro, Zacatecas, Mexico

Year of Discovery:

1859

Occurrences of Iodargyrite

Geological Setting:

Oxidized zones of silver deposits.

Physical Properties of Iodargyrite

Adamantine, Resinous

Diaphaneity (Transparency):

Transparent, Translucent

Colour:

Colourless (fresh); pale yellow, yellow, greenish yellow, brownish, grayish

Crystallography of Iodargyrite

Crystal System:

Hexagonal

Class (H-M):

6mm - Dihexagonal Pyramidal

Space Group:

P6mm

Cell Parameters:

a = 4.59Å, c = 7.51Å

Ratio:

a:c = 1 : 1.636

Unit Cell Volume:

V 137.02 Å³ (Calculated from Unit Cell)

Morphology:

Crystals usually prismatic [0001]; also tabular on [0001]. Development usually distinctly hemimorphic. Crystals are occasionally barrel-shaped, or occur as parallel groups or rosettes. They can also occur as massive aggregates, lamellae or scaly crystals.

Twinning:

On {3034}, repeated as fourlings at times. Paramorphs of iodargyrite after miersite show a mimetic repeated twinning with iodargyrite [001] parallel to {111} of the original miersite.

Optical Data of Iodargyrite

Type:

Uniaxial (+)

RI values:

n_ω = 2.210 n_ε = 2.220

Birefringence:

Occasionally exhibits undulose anomalous birefringence, with small 2V, due to mechanical deformation. Exhibits abnormal green interference colors. Dispersion very large.

Maximum Birefringence:

δ = 0.010

Chart shows birefringence interference colour range (at 30µm thickness) and does not take into account mineral colouration.

Surface Relief:

Very High
