System:TrigonalColour:Dark to emerald green, ...
Lustre:VitreousHardness:3
Name:Named after Norman Spang (1842-1922), of Etna, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA, contributor of the type specimen for study.


Spangolite Group

A secondary mineral commonly occurring with other secondary copper minerals in oxidized zones of copper-bearing ore bodies.

Note: The exact type locality is uncertain; the original specimen found “within a radius of 200 miles of Tombstone” (probably from Bisbee).

Thin tabular spangolite may be confused with chalcophyllite.

Classification of Spangolite

IMA status:Valid - first described prior to 1959 (pre-IMA) - "Grandfathered"
Explanation of status:Type material was in collection of Spang, who lived in Tombstone Arizona. His collection was from mines within 200 miles of town, but exact location for type specimen is unknown.

Diaphaneity (Transparency):Transparent, Translucent
Colour:Dark to emerald green, blue-green; light green in transmitted light.
Streak:Pale green
Hardness (Mohs):3
Comment:About 2 on {0001} and about 3 on the inclined faces.
Tenacity:Brittle
Cleavage:Perfect
On {0001}, perfect.

Crystallography of Spangolite

Crystal System:Trigonal
Class (H-M):3m - Ditrigonal Pyramidal
Space Group:P3 1c
Cell Parameters:a = 8.24Å, c = 14.34Å
Ratio:a:c = 1 : 1.74
Unit Cell Volume:V 843.21 ų (Calculated from Unit Cell)
Z:2
Morphology:Crystals frequently holohedral in aspect; either short prismatic [0001], or, more commonly, tabular {0001}. Less commonly hemimorphic with large {0001} and tapering toward the antilogous pole. The prism and trigonal pyramid faces are horizontally striated with series of trigonal pyramids and prisms in oscillatory combination. The geometrically equivalent positive and negative trigonal pyramids are seemingly always equally developed, rendering a hexagonal appearance to the crystal.
Twinning:On {0001}, rare, with the acute (antilogous) poles of the two individuals joined together.
Comment:Cell parameters are variable: a = 8.245-8.278 A, c = 14.32-14.53 A
