About SchapbachiteHide

Formula:

Ag_0.4Pb_0.2Bi_0.4S

Pb is necessary for the stabilisation of the cubic structure of schapbachite.

Colour:

Dark grey

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

2½ - 4

Specific Gravity:

7.05 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Isometric

Name:

Named in 1853 by Gustav Adolph Kenngott after the locality where it was originally thought to have existed as a species: Schapbach, Schwarzwald, Baden, Germany. First discredited in 1863 by F. Sandberger as a mixture of bismuthite, argentite, and galena. (Matildite was not named until 1883 by Antonio D'Achiardi.) The original schapbachite specimens were later re-analyzed and found to be a mixture of galena and matildite (Ramdohr, 1936). Hey (1982) reported that schapbachite (of Kenngott) was discredited by vote of the IMA. Schapbachite was re-used in 2004 by Kurt Walenta, H. J. Burnhardt, and T. Theye, although schapbachite did not occur at Schapbach. Pre-2004 reports of "schapbachite" have to be evaluated on the data provided.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Silberbrünnle Mine, Gengenbach, Gengenbach, Ortenaukreis, Freiburg Region, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Dimorph of:

Matildite

Note: many specimens originally described as "schapbachite (of Kenngott)" are in fact matildite with or without admixture of galena. Modern verification of any specimen with this designation is required.
