About SartoriteHide

Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen

Formula:

PbAs₂S₄

Simplified formula. May be Tl-bearing.

Colour:

Grey, grayish black

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

5.08 - 5.12

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Sartorite Group

Name:

Named after Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen (1809 - 1876) Professor of Mineralogy, University of Göttingen, Germany. He was the first to describe the mineral.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Lengenbach Quarry, Fäld, Binn, Goms, Valais, Switzerland

NOTE: the "sartorite" structurally characterised by Berlepsch et al. (2003) corresponds to enneasartorite. All "sartorite" occurrences published in the literature and based on (often) insufficient evidence should probably be reinvestigated to find out to which member of the Sartorite Group they confirm.

The structure (Berlepsch et al., 2003) contains isolated and interconnected AsS₃ pyramids, as, e.g., in the case of baumhauerite, dufrénoysite, gratonite, and seligmannite.
