To stay in the Alsatian atmosphere here is a rare sample collected by myself in the Gabe Gottes mine in St Marie aux Mines, a few years ago, a fluckite, not too spectacular but unique. Harvest made in the presence of the discoverer of this mineral, Pierre Fluck and Hubert Bari, lifelong friends. Fluckite CaMnH2 (AsO4) 2 · 2 (H2O)
Mineral: | Fluckite |
Locality: | Gabe Gottes Mine, Sankt Jakob vein, Neuenberg Mountain, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Colmar-Ribeauvillé, Haut-Rhin, Grand Est, France | |
|
Dimensions: | 10 x 5 cm |
Description: |
Fluckite was first described in 1980 for an occurrence in the Gabe-Gottes Mine in Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France, and named for mineralogist Pierre Fluck from Louis Pasteur, University of Strasbourg, France. The mineral was found in a depth of 100 m (330 ft). It occurs as a post-mine phase on carbonate gangue. It occurs in association with native arsenic, tennantite, skutterudite, sainfeldite, pharmacolite, villyaellenite, picropharmacolite, calcite, dolomite, ankerite and quartz (Wikipedia source) |
