About IsomertieiteHide

Formula:

Pd₁₁Sb₂As₂

Colour:

Pale yellow in reflected light

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

5½

Specific Gravity:

10.33 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Isometric

Member of:

Isomertieite Group

Name:

Named for being the isometric dimorph of pseudomertieite, which itself was previously named mertieite-I. The root name is for John Beaver Mertie, Jr. (22 January 1888, Baltimore, Maryland, USA - 7 December 1980, Rockville, Maryland, USA), geologist with the United States Geological Survey who spent 30 years geologically mapping Alaska.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Itabira, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Dimorph of:
