About BerryiteHide

Leonard Gascoigne Berry

Formula:

Cu₃Ag₂Pb₃Bi₇S₁₆

Formely considered to be Pb3(Ag,Cu)5Bi7S16.

Colour:

Bluish-grey, white, grey-white.

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

3½

Specific Gravity:

6.7

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

Named in honor of Leonard Gascoigne Berry (1914-1982), Canadian mineralogist, Professor of Mineralogy and Crystallography at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario (1945-1979), who first investigated the mineral from the Swedish type locality (TL2), in 1939. Berry was the founding editor of Canadian Mineralogist (1957-1975).

Co-Type Localities:

ⓘ Nordmark Odal Field (Nordmarksberg), Filipstad, Värmland County, Sweden
ⓘ Missouri Mine, Hall Valley (Hall's Valley), Montezuma District, Park Co., Colorado, USA

An orthorhombic polytypic variant has been postulated (Topa et al., 2006).

Structurally related to litochlebite and watkinsonite.

Visually similar to emplectite and several other sulphosalts.
