}}Chrysothallite is a rare thallium-bearing chloride mineral with the formula K6Cu6Tl3+Cl17(OH)4•H2O.[2][3] Chrysothallite is unique in being only the second mineral with essential trivalent thallium,[2] a feature shared with natural thallium(III) oxide, avicennite.[4] Another examples of natural thallium chlorides are steropesite, Tl3BiCl6, and lafossaite, TlCl.[5][6] Chrysothallite is one of numerous fumarolic minerals discovered among fumarolic sites of the Tolbachik volcano, Kamchatka, Russia[7] The mineral is named in allusion to its colour and thallium content.[2]

Notes on chemistry

Chrysothallite contains a relative high amount of zinc admixture. Zinc is substituting for copper.[2]

Association and origin

Chrysothallite may be associated with many other minerals:[2]

  • chlorides: atacamite, avdoninite, belloite, eriochalcite, mitscherlichite, sanguite, carnallite, halite, sylvite;
  • sulfates: antlerite, chlorothionite, kröhnkite, natrochalcite, gypsum, kainite

Crystal structure

The crystal structure of chrysothallite is unique. Its building elements are:[2]

  • layer of distorted CuCl4(OH)2 octahedra, in which the octahedra share edges
  • isolated Tl-centered TlCl6 octahedra
  • isolated Tl-centered TlCl4(H2O)2 octahedra
  • KCl6 and KCl9 polyhedra, that connect all the above elements

Origin

Chrysothallite is supposed to be a product of interaction of relatively high-temperature fumarolic minerals with fumarolic gas and atmospheric water, that takes place in temperatures up to {{convert|150|C}}.
