A toxic beauty!
Mineral: | Villiaumite |
Locality: | Kirovskii Mine, Kukisvumchorr Mountain, Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast, Northern Region, Russia | |
|
Dimensions: | 38x18x11mm |
Description: |
Matrix-free villiaumite specimen, fairly large with lovely carmine-red colour from the Kirovsky Mine in the Khibiny Mountains on the Kola Peninsula. Although beautiful and seemingly cubic, most villiaumite specimens of any size are usually simply cleavage fragments formed late in the development of a pegmatite and they are often followed by alkaline carbonates. Villiaumite is a moderately rare mineral form of sodium fluoride and is known from plutonic nepheline syenite rocks. A metal fluoride and easily soluble, villiaumite is highly toxic if ingested and it can react with moisture on the hands to be absorbed through the skin so is potentially harmful to humans. |

Villiaumite within urtite from the Koashva Apatite Deposit on the Khibiny Massif
Mineral: | Villiaumite with Aegirine |
Locality: | Koashva Open Pit, Koashva Mountain, Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast, Northern Region, Russia | |
|
Dimensions: | 50x44x37mm |
Description: |
Dark red villiaumite (crystals to 8.5mm) with black aegirine acicular crystals in a matrix of nepheline-syenite from the Koashva Open Pit in the Khibiny Mountains on the Kola Peninsula. Urtite is a coarse-grained, igneous rock consisting largely of nepheline, with apatite and ferromagnesian minerals (aegirine, aegirine-augite, and soda-iron amphibole). The rock is is a type of undersaturated syenite and derives from ‘Lujaururt’, the Sámi name for the Lovozero Massif tundras of the Kola Peninsula. |

Nice villiaumites, David. The Russian ones seem to be a deeper color than the lighter red or raspberry-colored ones from Namibia, of which I recently got some from an American friend who collected them himself at the Aris quarry. And this morning I was just reading a paper explaining why nanometer-size particles of native sodium cause villiaumite to turn red whereas they cause halite (like the ones from Carlsbad, New Mexico) to turn blue! And then your photos show up... uncanny coincidence.

Nepheline-syenite with villiaumite
Mineral: | Villiaumite |
Locality: | Koashva Open Pit, Koashva Mountain, Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Murmanskaja Oblast, Northern Region, Russia | |
|
Dimensions: | 48x29x18 |
Description: |
Dark red villiaumite in a matrix of nepheline-syenite from the Koashva Open Pit on the Kola Peninsula. A relatively rare Halite Group mineral, villiaumite occurs as gangue material deep in foyaite rocks and in miarolitic cavities within nepheline-syenite pegmatites. It forms granular and massive aggregates or imperfect crystals, cubic in appearance, often rounded. The approximate chemical composition of villiaumite is 54.75% Na (sodium) and 45.25% F (fluoride). It is readily soluble in water. |

Burmese fluorite
Mineral: | Fluorite |
Locality: | Nyaung-gyin Village, Thabeikkyin Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region (Mandalay Division), Myanmar (Burma) | |
|
Dimensions: | 42x27x22mm |
Description: |
Myanmar (Burma) is classed as poor for richness of fluorite in terms of its overall mineral resources. Unusual rounded (botryoidal) aggregates of fluorite surfaced from Myanmar a few years ago, but they now seem to have largely disappeared from the collector market. Although fluorite is relatively common around the world, Burmese material is pretty scarce on the market. This small specimen of botryoidal lavender fluorite, showing the crystal growth in concentric layers, is from Nyaung Gyin village in Tha-Beik-Kyin Township, west of Mogok, Burma (Myanmar). |

A specimen with a somewhat interesting backstory and good provenance having latterly belonged to the Mineralien-Museum Andreas Gabrys in Lam, Bavaria, Germany. When that museum closed it was amongst the many partial lots that were auctioned off from the very large mineral collection on display there. A brief history of the Mineralien-Museum Andreas Gabrys:
In 1969, Andreas Gabrys and his wife founded and opened Mineralien-Museum Andreas Gabrys in Lam, which became a collection of more than 10,000 specimens from local and international locations. At the time he was mine manager of the Fürstenzeche (otherwise known as the Oswald Mine) which is also located in Lam, Germany, in the Bayerischer Wald (Bavarian Forest). Andreas had always collected rocks and minerals, so when the Fürstenzeche finally shut down he had time to pursue his hobby completely. He exchanged, collected and bought minerals from traders, miners and exchanges. His wish was to make these treasures accessible to the public. When Andreas died in 1994 his wife continued to run the museum until 2004. However, due to her age and illness, it became necessary for her to move into a nursing home. As a result, the museum was temporarily closed in the hope that someone in the local community or the mineral fraternity would be interested in it. Unfortunately, despite much communication and marketing, there was no interest in taking over the going concern because of all the associated ongoing expenses and logistics that would inevitably be required to run and maintain it. Manfred Gabrys (son of Andreas) and his wife Renate, both now elderly themselves, became responsible for the museum and its large mineral collection. They wanted to keep the collection intact and together as a legacy to Andreas Gabrys, but when it became sadly evident that a buyer would not be found the museum property was subsequently put on the market and the huge collection had to be dismantled and was sold off in partial lots.

Two micro specimens of bastnäsite on dolomite from Trimouns Talc Mine, Luzenac, Foix, Ariège, Occitanie, France. The name of Trimouns comes from the langue d’Oc words Trés Monts (three mountains), in reference to the three peaks that overlook the huge talc quarry/mine. Talc, a hydrated magnesium silicate, is the softest stone on our planet. It is hydrophobic, inert and composed of layers. Talc deposits form as a result of the transformation of high magnesium rocks by siliceous hydrothermal fluids. The seam at Trimouns was formed 300 million years ago in a fault between two masses of rock, one composed essentially of mica schist and the other of dolomite. In this fault, the rock was ground by the pressure of the two masses, allowing the infiltration of water containing large amounts of magnesium. The magnesium attached itself to the dolomite to form magnesium silicate: talc. In the same way, the mica schists were transformed into chlorite. Most talc originates from the alteration of dolomite, or ultramafic intrusive rocks. Following this process, talc is always found in combination with other minerals. Whilst carbonates and chlorite are the most common associated minerals, each talc deposit has a unique morphology and mineralogy. The Trimouns talc/chlorite deposit is a mineral locality of international significance, producing fine crystal specimens of rare earth element-bearing species of allanite/dissakisite, bastnäsite, synchisite, parisite, hingganite and iimoriite. Often micromount-size, these minerals occur in dolomite vugs in a contact zone of the deposit.

Micro specimen of galena on siderite from Le Rivet Quarry near Peyrebrune in the Occitanie region of France. The geology of this quarry consists of sedimentary cover (Tertiary to Present), Ordovician black schists, interstratified metadolerites and metabasalts, Hercynian granitic and micro-granitic dykes, and the main Pb–Zn mineralised quartz veins of the Peyrebrune ore deposit. Both Le Rivet Quarry and the adjacent Peyrebrune Quarry were worked for fluorite, limonite and sphalerite. The Peyrebrune Mine is also located nearby and that was worked until 1972 producing calcite, galena, siderite and sphalerite. Some of the lead-zinc veins of the old mine surface in Le Rivet Quarry. A mines and mineral resources information circular by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines, 1962 reported on Peyrebrune Mine, “Société des mines et Urines de Peyrebrune operates a mine in narrow fissure veins cutting igneous rocks. Average grade is about 5% lead and 1% zinc. Reserves are not known, but assumed to be quite small.” However, when it eventually closed this 520m deep mine with 30-35km of adits on 25 levels had worked two million tons of ore resulting in 65,000 tons of lead, 37,000 tons of zinc and 160 tons of silver!

My radioactive minerals...
Mineral: | Autunite and Fluorite (variety stink-fluss) |
Locality: | Marienschacht Mine, Wölsendorf, Schwarzach bei Nabburg, Wölsendorf West District, Upper Palatinate/Oberpfalz, Bavaria/Bayern, Germany | |
|
Dimensions: | 76x54x35mm |
Description: |
Aggregates of yellow autunite and dark veinlets of violet ‘stink-fluss’ fluorite in altered granitic rock from the Marienschacht Mine. The uranium mineral autunite displays strong yellow-green fluorescence on the surface of this specimen (demonstrated in this photo under LW UV light). [Regarding the fluorite and uranium mineralisation at the locality: "The main course mass is fluorite of light violet blue and green color, stinkspar is not found in the presence of gneiss (this is not to say that gneiss is always present in fluorspar of different colours). Note: Light purple or blue fluorspar is not known from the Kuppel Mine (or later from the Marienschacht Mine), it is purple fluorspar. Of the uranium minerals, autunite was only found whilst the western part of the gangue, which starts in granite, was being mined. This mineral was distributed over veins and cracks that ran through the reddish-coloured granite." ~ Drechsler, Dr. Franz, Hochschule München: "Zur Mineralführung und Chemie der Oberpfälzer Flußspatgänge". Die Befahrung des Reviers hat im Jahre 1923 stattgefunden; in "Sonderdruck aus dem 17. Bericht für das Jahr 1924 des Naturwissenschaflichen Vereins Regensburg E. V"., Seite 1 - 48, Regensburg 1925.] |

Mineral: | Autunite |
Locality: | Vénachat Mine, Compreignac, Bellac, Haute-Vienne Department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France | |
|
Dimensions: | FOV 5mm |
Description: |
A fairly rich dispersal of greenish-yellow autunite crystals (highly fluorescent under LW UV) on a granitic matrix with fragments of black uraninite from Vénachat. [In 1976 the Compagnie générale des mines was created based on the uranium production activities of CEA, the French government’s Commissariat à l’énergie atomique (English: Atomic Energy Commission). Later it was renamed Compagnie générale des matières nucléaire (COGEMA). In 2001 it became Areva after merging with other companies and in 2006 the subsidiary’s name was changed to Areva NC. In 2018 it changed its name to Orano Cycle to reflect the restructuring of Areva. Orano is an industrial group active in all stages of the uranium fuel cycle, including uranium mining, conversion, enrichment, spent fuel reprocessing, and recycling. The Vénachat mining site is located in the commune of Compreignac (about 4km NE of the village) in Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It operated between 1959 and 1992 and was shut down due to the depletion of its uranium deposit. COGEMA operated the site for underground mining and as an open pit water mine. Vénachat was exploited by underground mining works between 1959 and 1962, then by surface mines and underground mining works between 1981 and 1992. The upwelling in mining works resulted in the establishment of a water body in the opencast mine in 1994, the gravity overflow of which was initially treated, then (since December 1999) it was discharged directly into the Ritord watershed at low flow. The water treatment station at this former mining site is kept operational, but it is no longer actually in operation. Although a formal declaration of completion of mining was recorded on 10th August 2001 Vénachat still remains a regulated and restricted site.] |

Mineral: | Torbernite |
Locality: | Chaméane Uranium Deposit, Le Vernet-Chaméane, Issoire District, Puy-de-Dôme Department, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France | |
|
Dimensions: | FOV 1mm |
Description: |
Tabular green torbernite crystals arranged aesthetically at the edge of a cavity on an amethystine smoky quartz matrix from the Chaméane Uranium Deposit. [The deposit at Chaméane was only mined for uranium for a short period of time and most traces of former workings at the locality have all but disappeared today. Chaméane became particularly notable when three new selenides (chaméanite, geffroyite, giraudite) were discovered there. The uranium mineralisation occurs in altered granite with uraninite (formerly called pitchblende) as the main mineral. Near Chaméane, the subsoil was exploited between 1964 and 1965 for uranium. This operation, carried out in underground mining works, provided 230 tons of ore with a grade equal to 1.33%, which represents approximately 300 kg of uranium. This ephemeral uranium deposit was part of the C.E.A. (Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique) geological survey of the Forez Tertiary plain (in the French ‘Massif Central’) which delivered 7,000 tons of uranium. The ore was essentially made up of uraninite and gummite (a yellow amorphous mixture of uranium minerals, oxides, silicates, and hydrates of uranium, derived from alteration of uraninite). The Chaméane deposit also delivered some amethyst, although specimens are better known from the neighbouring former commune of Vernet-la-Varenne where artisanal mining of this purple variety of quartz used to be quite active.] |

Description: |
Rare-earth oxide Davidite-(Ce) from Iveland, Aust-Agder, Norway. Old label accompanying the specimen gives a slightly erroneous location of‘ ‘Rossas, Iveland area, S. Norway’. [The Evje and Iveland area is famous for its pegmatite minerals. In old references and on old labels, this area has also been referred to as Setesdalen (Setesdal), which is the valley along the river Otra. Evje & Hornes and Iveland municipalities are the two southernmost municipalities (of a total of 5) in this valley. The pegmatites are enriched with REE (rare-earth elements).] |

A grouping of terminated, somewhat altered, ilvaite crystals which show idiomorphic granular morphology after being partially replaced by iron-manganese oxides/hydroxides.
Mineral: | Ilvaite |
Locality: | Mega Horio, Serifos Island, Cyclade Islands, Kykládes Prefecture, Aegean Islands Department (Aiyaíon), Greece | |
|
Dimensions: | 53x15x15 |
Description: |
Located on the southwestern part of Serifos Island, Megalo Livadi was founded because of the bauxite mines located nearby. When the mining industry was at its highest peak, around 1880 and 1890, Megalo Livadi was born. However, before reaching this picturesque coastal village you will travel through Mega Horio further up in the hills. Locally known as Megalo Chorio, or Mia Chorio, this was Serifos' ancient capital. Today, Megalo Chorio is an almost uninhabited village. Megalo means ‘big’ in Greek and Chorio means ‘village’. Thus, Megalo Chorio was ‘the Big Village’. It was the largest settlement of the miners’ era. Between 1880 and 1912, Megalo Chorio was at its zenith with many residences, churches, schools, grocery stores, tailor shops, shoe shops and two hospitals. The remains of one of the hospital buildings has survived to this day, but the other one has collapsed, dragged down by the landslip of a mine gallery. Shortly after the closure of the mine, Megalo Chorio was gradually abandoned. Today it is almost deserted and what you will find there is mainly ruins, as well as the entrances to some old mine galleries. |
