About Tin-bearing Copper
Formula:
(Cu,Sn)
Colour:
pink, bronze, yellow, white
Lustre:
Metallic
A variety of Copper
Natural copper-tin alloys (i.e. bronzes). Tin contents may vary in a wide range, from a few percents up to 35% and more. Subordinate contents of lead are also often present.
The material reported by Xu et al. (1987) corresponds to α-CuSn in the copper-tin phase diagram (its stoichiometry corresponds approximately to Cu18Sn).
Compare with Eta-bronze, sorosite, 'UM1978-02-E:CuPbSn','UM1965-07-E:CuSn', 'UM1978-02-E:CuPbSn', and 'UM1985-05-E:CuSn'.
