Abstract/NotesXocomecatlite and tlalocite were found at the Bambollita mine near Moctezuma, Sonora. Xocomecatlite is probably orthorhombic, and an indexed cell based on the powder data gave a 12.140 A, b 14.318, c 11.662. Based on this cell, the empirical contents are Cu36.6 Zn1.7 (TeO4)12.5 (OH)51.6 or Cu3TeO4(OH)4. Tellurate was found both microchemically and by spectrophotometry. Colour rich green (R.H.S. 132A) with pale streak, H = 4. Optically negative with α = 1.775, β = 1.900, γ = 1.920. G = 4.65.Tlalocite is optically orthorhombic but the cell could not be indexed; only powder data are presented. Chemical analysis showed both tellurite and tellurate and led to the formulaColour pale blue (R.H.S. 121A) with a whitish streak; H = 1, gummy and sectile. G = 4.55.Plotting stability fields for various Te species at 25°C in terms of Eh and pH showed that TeO42−.aq can exist in nature over a wide pH range, but only under extreme conditions of oxidation.
