| Abstract | Johntomaite, ideally BaFe2+ 2Fe3+ 2(PO4)3(OH)3, is the Fe2+-analogue of perloffite and represents a new member of the bjarebyite group of barium phosphates. It occurs as an extremely rare mineral on the dumps of the Spring Creek copper mine near Wilmington in the southern Flinders Ranges of South Australia, where it forms clusters of greenish black, monoclinic prisms 0.3 to 1 mm in length. It is associated with quartz, libethenite, pseudomalachite and mitridatite. It is opaque with a dark greyish green streak, it has a vitreous, greasy to subadamantine lustre, a perfect cleavage parallel to {100}, an irregular fracture, a Mohs hardness of 4½, and D(meas.) 4.05(1), D(calc.) 4.084 g/cm3. Optically, it is biaxial negative, with α 1.817(3), β 1.829(6), γ 1.837(3), 2Vα ∼ 80–85(5)° (meas.), 78.0° (calc.). Pleochroism is strong: X bluish green, Y dark brownish green, Z brownish; absorption Y > X ≥ Z; orientation Z = b. Dispersion is strong, (probably) r ≪ v. The mineral is monoclinic, P21/m, with a 9.199(9), b 12.359(8), c5.004(2) Aring;, β 100.19(6)°, V 559.9(5) Aring;3 and Z = 2. The strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern are [d(I ) hkl]: 3.159 (100) 031,−221; 2.983 (50) 211; 2.749 (50b) 221,−311; 4.573 (40) 011; 3.091 (40) −131. Electron microprobe analysis yielded (wt.%): BaO 21.96, FeO 13.34, CaO 3.28, MnO 2.67, Na2O 0.07, MgO 0.05, CuO 0.07, ZnO 0.06, Fe2O3 22.62, Al2O3 0.25, P2O5 30.45, SiO2 0.13, F 0.36, H2O 3.73 (calc.), less O ≡ F − 0.15, sum 98.89. The empirical formula is Ba1.00 (Fe2+ 1.29Ca0.41Mn0.26Na0.02Mg0.01Cu0.01Zn0.01)Σ2.01(Fe3+ 1.97Al0.03)Σ2.00 [(P2.98Si0.02) O4]3.00(OH2.85F0.13)Σ2.98, based on three (P + Si) and the assumption that the Fe(2) site is completely filled with Fe3+ and Al. A single-crystal structure refinement (R = 4.92%) confirmed the bjarebyite-type structure of johntomaite. Both refinement and chemical analyses demonstrate that Ca and (Fe + Mn) are negatively correlated. Johntomaite is named after Mr. John Toma, amateur mineralogist and finder of the mineral. The type specimen is deposited at the South Australian Museum, Adelaide, Australia. Johntomait, ein neues Glied der Bjarebyit-Gruppe von Bariumphosphaten: Beschreibung und Strukturverfeinerung Johntomait, BaFe2+ 2Fe3+ 2(PO4)3(OH)3, ist ein neues Glied der Bjarebyit-Gruppe von Bariumphosphaten, und stellt das Fe2+-Analogon von Perloffit dar. Es kommt extrem selten in Haldenmaterial der Spring Creek-Kupfermine bei Wilmington, südliche Flinders Ranges, Südaustralien, vor. Johntomait bildet Aggregate von grünlich schwarzen, monoklinen Prismen mit einer Länge von 0.3 bis 1 mm, und ist vergesellschaftet mit Quarz, Libethenit, Pseudomalachit und Mitridatit. Das Mineral ist undurchsichtig, mit dunkelgraugrünem Strich, glasigem, harzigem bis diamantartigem Glanz, perfekter Spaltbarkeit parallel {100}, unregelmäßigem Bruch, Mohs-Härte 4½, und D(gem.) 4.05(1), D(ber.) 4.084 g/cm3. Optische Eigenschaften: zweiachsig negativ, α 1.817(3), β 1.829(6), γ 1.837(3), 2Vα ∼ 80–85(5)° (gem.), 78.0° (ber.). Der Pleochroismus ist ausgeprägt: X bläulich grün, Y dunkelbräunlich grün, Z bräunlich; Absorption Y > X ≥ Z; Z = b; (wahrscheinlich) r ≪ v. Das Mineral ist monoklin, P21/m, a 9.199(9), b 12.359(8), c 5.004(2) Aring;, β 100.19(6)°, V 559.9(5) Aring;3, Z = 2. Stärkste Linien im Röntgenpulverdiagramm [d (I ) hkl]: 3.159 (100) 031,−221; 2.983 (50) 211; 2.749 (50b) 221,−311; 4.573 (40) 011; 3.091 (40) −131. Elektronenmikrosondenanalysen ergaben (Gew.%): BaO 21.96, FeO 13.34, CaO 3.28, MnO 2.67, Na2O 0.07, MgO 0.05, CuO 0.07, ZnO 0.06, Fe2O3 22.62, Al2O3 0.25, P2O5 30.45, SiO2 0.13, F 0.36, H2O 3.73 (ber.), minus O ≡ F −0.15, Summe 98.89. Die empirische Formel ist Ba1.00(Fe2+ 1.29Ca0.41Mn0.26Na0.02Mg0.01Cu0.01Zn0.01)Σ2.01 (Fe3+ 1.97Al0.03)Σ2.00 [(P2.98Si0.02)O4]3.00(OH2.85F0.13)Σ2.98, basierend auf drei (P + Si) und der Annahme, daß die Fe(2)-Position vollständig mit Fe3+ und Al besetzt ist. Eine Verfeinerung von Einkristallbeugungsdaten (R = 4.92%) bestätigte den Bjarebyit-Typ der Struktur von Johntomait. Sowohl Verfeinerung als auch chemische Analysen zeigen eine negative Korrelation zwischen Ca und (Fe + Mn). Johntomait ist benannt nach John Toma, Amateurmineraloge und Finder des Minerals. Das Typmaterial befindet sich im South Australian Museum, Adelaide, Australien. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
