Type Occurrence of Jinshajiangite

Type Locality:Luku village, Huili Co., Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China
Year of Discovery:1982

Physical Properties of Jinshajiangite

Lustre:Vitreous
Colour:brown red, yellow red, black, or black red.
Streak:light yellow
Hardness (Mohs):4½ - 5
Density (measured):4.2 g/cm3

Crystallography of Jinshajiangite

Crystal System:Monoclinic
Class (H-M):2/m - Prismatic
Cell Parameters:a = 10.6785(8) Å, b = 13.786(1) Å, c = 20.700(2) Å
β = 94.937(1)°
Ratio:a:b:c = 0.775 : 1 : 1.502
Unit Cell Volume:V 3035.93 ų
Comment:SG C2/m (Sokolova et al., 2009), not P2/m, as originally reported (original cell parameters: 5.350, 6.909, 20.96 A, 99.83°). As pointed out by Sokolova et al. (2009), the structure determination of Rastsvetaeva et al. (2008) is erroneous in several points.
