Abstract/NotesAbstractYellow blades on joint surfaces in granite from Merrivale quarry, Dartmoor, Devon, are shown to be of a slightly aresenatian variety of phurcalite by X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, electron microprobe and thermal analyses and optical methods. The results from these techniques are tabulated, including assignments for infrared absorption bands. Comparison of X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopic and optical data with those obtained from samples of ‘nisaite’, an incompletely described mineral from Nisa, Portugal, indicates that the latter is also phurcalite.
