About AdamiteHide

Formula:
Zn2(AsO4)(OH)
Colour:
Ideally white, colourless, frequently pale yellow, honey-yellow, brownish yellow, rose red; blue, pale green to green, may be zoned; bright green (Cu-bearing); bright pink, purple (Co-bearing)
Lustre:
Vitreous, Sub-Vitreous, Waxy, Greasy
Hardness:
Specific Gravity:
4.32 - 4.48
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Member of:
Name:
Named by Charles Friedel in 1866 for Gilbert Joseph Adam (7 April 1795 Seine-et-Marne, Fontainbleau, France - 8 June 1881 Paris, France), Inspector (Auditor) of Finance for the French Government, who supplied the first specimens of his mineral. Adam was a wealthy mineral collector and his mineral collection was described in Annales des Mines in 1869 and later in a published catalog (1869). Adam was also the discoverer of aerugite, chenevixite, corkite, cuprotungstite, scacchite, and xanthiosite. Adam's mineral collection was acquired by the École des Mines, Paris, France. Adam was a member of Société géologique de France and received the honor of Commandeur de la Légion d'Honneur.
Dimorph of:
Olivenite Group. Adamite-Olivenite Series.
The orthorhombic dimorph of Paradamite. The Zn analogue of zincolivenite.

In terms of chemistry, but not structure, adamite in an arsenic equivalent (stoichiometrically similar to) of tarbuttite. The two minerals are not analogous.

Adamite forms a solid solution with the copper arsenate Olivenite, and the intermediate, structurally distinct member Zincolivenite. (Note: 'zincolivenite' or 'Zn-olivenite' were also used for Zn-bearing olivenites with unspecified Zn:Cu ratios prior to the recognition and approval of zincolivenite as a distinct species.) Many "cuproadamite" or "cuprian adamite" specimens were also found to actually be zincolivenite, see: https://www.mindat.org/mesg-492496.html.

A secondary mineral found in zinc deposits containing arsenic-bearing minerals.

Crystal structure details (Hill, 1976): there are two types of Zn polyhedra; ZnO4(OH)2 octahedra share edges to form chains || c; the octahedra have common corners with edge-sharing ZnO4(OH) trigonal bipyramid (distorted, but to a lesser degree that in paradamite). Two types of Zn polyhedra link arsenate tetrahedra to form a framework with O and OH having trigonal coordination.

Fluorescence of AdamiteHide

May fluoresce or phosphoresce lemon-yellow under SW and LW UV.

Other InformationHide

Thermal Behaviour:
Heated in a closed tube, it decrepitates feebly, and gives a little water, becoming white and porcelanous. On charcoal, it fuses, producing a coating of zinc oxide, and a faint odor of arsenic. In a closed tube with soda and charcoal, it gives a ring of arsenic.
Notes:
Readily soluble in dilute acids.
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
