The crystal chemistry and paragenesis of honessite and hydrohonessite: the sulphate analogues of reevesite

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Honessite and hydrohonessite from Unst, Shetland, and Linden, Wisconsin, are sulphate-containing members of the pyroaurite group and are analogous to reevesite. The structural formula can be written (Nis.ssMg0.10Fe2a~s)(OH)16(SO4)l.ls .XH20 for the Unst material, with sulphate groups replacing the interlayer carbonate groups in reevesite. Microprobe analyses of the Unst materiaJ show amounts of SO 3 in excess of that required to balance all trivalent cations and this may be due to the presence of an … Show more

“…Honessite found near a chrome deposit (Unst, Shetland) and described by Bish and Livingstone (1981) was mixed with hydrohonessite and reevesite. The three varieties have the same composition brucite-like layers, [Niz.sFe~ 23+](OH)8, but differ in the composition of interlayers, thereby suggesting to the authors a genetic affinity.…”

“…In foundation work used to derive the ideal hydrohonessite formula, Bish & Livingstone (1981) analyzed naturally occurring hydrohonessite samples and found the divalent/trivalent cation ratio to be ~ 2.5. The authors concluded that, analogously to reevesite (Ni 6 Fe 2 (OH) 16 CO 3 4H 2 O), the Ni(II)/Fe(III) LDH containing carbonate as the interlayer anion, the ideal divalent/trivalent cation ratio for hydrohonessite is most likely also 3, resulting in a formula of Ni 6 Fe 2 (OH) 16 SO 4 nH 2 O.…”

“…The oc cur rence of these bands could be ex plained by the pres ence of small in clu sions of mal a chite, known to be closely as so ci ated with woodwardite. On the other hand, small amounts of car bon ate ions have been de tected in hydro talcitelike sul phate min er als from dif fer ent sites (e.g., Nickel, 1976;Bish and Living stone, 1981;Raade et al, 1985). This is sug gestive of par tial car bon ate-for-sul phate re place ment in the structure of the woodwardite from Radzimowice.…”
