ABSTRACT New data on rhodochrosite are presented, including unpublished analyses. Seventy-nine analyses are calculated to MnCO3, FeCO3, MgCO3and CaCO3and are plotted in three ternary diagrams. The frequency of appearance of Ca, Fe, and Mg in significant quantities as isomorphous constituents of the 79 rhodochrosite specimens is found to be in the ratio 21:17:12. Complete isomorphous miscibility with calcite and siderite is demonstrated. Scarpe Stringate Brouge Uomo. The refractive indices and specific gravities of rhodochrosite are shown to vary directly with the composition, and to be calculable from the proportions of the four end members of the system. The composition of a specimen, however, cannot be deduced from the specific gravity and optical properties alone. ThenO of pure MnCO3is shown to be 1.816, and the specific gravity is 3.70. The theoretical specific gravity calculated from the molecular weight and the volume of a unit cell is considerably larger. Rhodochrosite from Butte, Montana, is described and analyses of rhodochrosite and ankerite from Butte are given. INTRODUCTION In 1917 W. E. Ford1PUMAUomo BMW MMS Rs. Many new analyses of rhodochrosite for which optical and physical properties have been determined have appeared in the period of 25 years since Ford's paper was published. The interest in rhodochrosite as a source of manganese has been heightened by the present emergency, and it was in the course of an investigation of manganese reserves at Butte, Montana, with Charles F. Park, Jr.,McMahon Scarpe da ginnastica da uomo . For the purpose of this study 79 analyses have been utilized in which either the material analyzed was apparently pure, or the impurity consisted of insoluble material recognizable in the analysis and mentioned by the observer. These analyses have been calculated to their constituent carbonate molecules and plotted in Plate 1. With a few exceptions, they contain MnCO3in excess of all other carbonate molecules. Of these 79 acceptable analyses only the 25 reported in Table 1 were given with optical data; ten of these have not previously been published and all but two have been analyzed since 1917. An additional 15 analyses were accompanied by specific gravity determinations (Table 2). Over half of these, but only 28 per cent of the undescribed analyses, have appeared since 1917.SpeedoWater Shoe,Cuscino Addome Supporto U Forma Gravidanza Vita Cuscino Blu Bianco a. Nevertheless, the relative scarcity of high grade analyses of pure, clean material, accompanied by carefully determined physical data,PUMAScuderia Ferrari F Cat. Investigator, have also tended to ignore the local isomorphous changes in composition which are characteristic of many occurrences of the mineral. Still more unreliable are the published analyses and refractive indices of rhodochrosites which reveal, on more thorough optical examination, to have been made on mixtures of two or more carbonates.MerrellEncore Rexton Chill Ac "rhodochrosites" from consideration because of this fact. COMPOSITION The principal carbonate molecules present in rhodochrosite are MnCO3, CaCO3, FeCO3, and MgCO3. In a few specimens ZnCO3is a constituent, and one analysis contains cadmium in an unidentified form. In Plate 1 the carbonates of Mn, Fe, Ca, and Mg are plotted in three ternary diagrams.PUMABMW M Motorsport, and it appears in all three fields if Ca, Mg, and Fe are equally abundant. The three diagrams of Plate 1 can be considered as portions of the three faces of a tetrahedron that join in an apex considered to represent 100 per cent MnCO3 Of the 79 analyses plotted in Plate 1, 56 are either three-Pier & Lifestyle Sandhaven Deck. In plotting,PUMABMW MMS Rs: if Ca, it is added to Mg; if Fe, it is added to Mn; and if Mg, it is distributed ¾ to Ca and ¼ to Mn. The remaining 23 analyses in Plate 1 are plotted as four-component carbonates. Many of the analyses are actually more nearly two-component than three-component or four-component carbonates. These lie near the edges of the tetrahedron whereas the three and four-component analyses lie, respectively,PUMABMW M Motorsport. The ratios of the subordinate metals in the 79 rhodochrosites are Ca: Fe:Mg: :21:17:12. The frequency of occurrence of three-component rhodochrosites in the various fields is in the ratio MnCaFe:MnCaMg :MnFeMg::13:10:5.

ISOMORPHISM The ionic radii of bivalent Mn, Fe, Ca, and Mg as given by various investigators are listed below. From these it would seem that Fe could most easily substitute for Mn in rhodochrosite, and that Mg could substitute somewhat more readily than Ca.

The magnesite highest in manganese quoted by Ford5contains 13.33 per cent of MnCO3and 16.99 per cent FeCO3. Twelve other analyses of manganoan magnesite contain less than 3.5 per cent MnCO3. At the rhodochrosite end of the MnCO3-MgCO3MMS Drift Cat 7 Ultra, with the exception of specimenp, the highest MgCO3content is 9.4 per cent in specimen V. In only one rhodochrosite in nine is MgCO3the second most abundant constituent. Specimenp(Table 2) with 27.5 per cent MgCO3is from Hambach (Nassau), Germany, and was analyzed in connection with a study of the thermal dissociation of rhodochrosite. The material is not described, but the analysis should probably be accepted because the oxides calculate directly to carbonates and the only impurity seems to be 0.74 per cent SiO2.

The refractive indices assumed for all end members in the three ternary systems studied in this paper are:
Fig. 1. Observed and calculated refractive indices. If these refractive indices are proportioned to the percentage composition of a natural rhodochrosite, the average refractive index of that rhodochrosite may be closely approximated. That this is true is shown by Table 1 and by Fig. 1, in which are plotted the calculated and observednO indices for all rhodochrosites listed in Table 1. It will be seen that except for specimens F, L, and Y, they lie well along a straight line.PUMABMW MMS Drift Cat 8, hence they were likely difficult to study optically. Specimen F is unaccountably low. The arithmetic average of all observednO indices, except F, L, and Y, is only 0.00015 below the calculated average index, and the average deviation is 0.00125. Ford,6on the basis of the limited optical data available in 1917, gives a value of 1.817 for thenO of pure MnCO3. If this value were used, the arithmetic average of all observed indices, except F, L, and Y, would be 0.00080 below the calculated index and the average deviation 0.00140. Hence the value 1.816 for pure MnCO3is more nearly correct than 1.817. A. Larsen and Wherry,Jour. Wash. Acad.

ThenE indices calculated from Ford's value of 1.597 for pure MnCO3differ an arithmetic average of 0.0064 from observed indices, if specimen F is disregarded. The average deviation is 0.0032. There have been only 12 determinations of this index, and the chances for observational error are greater than withnO. SPECIFIC GRAVITY Of the 26 analyzed specimens of rhodochrosite (Tables 1 and 2) for which specific gravities have been observed, 17 have been published since 1917 or make their appearance in this paper. Previous to Ford's paper7the specific gravity of rhodochrosite was generally given at 3.45 to 3.60. As Fig. 2 shows, some natural rhodochrosites do lie in this range. The value of 3.70 assumed by Ford for the specific gravity of pure MnCO3is substantiated by the recent additional observational data and by calculation from specific refractive indices of MnO and CO2and the observed index of MnCO3but it is considerably lower than the theoretical specific gravity derived from x-ray data, as will be shown. The specific gravities assumed for the end members in the three ternary systems are Ford's: FeCO33.89 MnCO33.70 MgCO32.96 CaCO32.715 In calculating specific gravities for specimensbandlthe specific gravities of ZnCO3and CdCO3(?) were taken as 4.45 and 5.6, respectively. Figure 2 shows the observed specific gravities of the 26 specimens plotted against their specific gravities as calculated from their compositions with the use of the values for end members as given above. In a number of specimens the observed specific gravity falls short of the calculated specific gravity,Replica Scuderia Ferrari F1 2012, but in none are they substantially greater. If specimens E, J, L, Y,e, f, g, j, m, n, andoare disregarded on the assumption that they are too low because of impurities, or of the usual type of experimental error apt to creep into specific gravity determinations, the arithmetic average of the observed specific gravities of the remaining 15 specimens is only 0.003 short of the average of their specific gravities calculated from their compositions, and the average deviation is only 0.015. a.

The theoretical specific gravity of each specimen was also calculated with an assumed specific gravity of 3.71 for pure MnCO3The fifteen best determinations were then found to average 0.013 below their calculated specific gravities. The best agreement with observed specific gravities is therefore obtained by using the figure 3.70 for pure MnCO3 The theoretical specific gravity of pure MnCO3, may be calculated by two independent methods. Application of the law of Gladstone and Dale, G =n-1/K, wherenis the mean refractive index of MnCO3{cubed root of (ω2ε)} and K equals the sum of the specific refractive indices of MnO and CO2times their respective weight percentages, gives a value of 3.707 for pure MnCO3, (Mol. wt.) (No. of mols./unit cell) Brentano and Adamson8measured a rhodochrosite on which they had observed the specific gravity to range between 3.47 and 3.76, indicating that the material ranged in compostion from ferroan to calcian or magnesian rhodochrosite. The length of an edge, ao', of a unit cell corresponding to a cleavage rhomb was found to be 6.064Å, and the angle α' of a rhombic face was 102°50'. Such a unit cell contains four molecules of MnCO3. From this data Brentano and Adamson calculated a specific gravity of 3.747.Replica Scuderia Ferrari F1 2012. The true unit cell of rhodochrosite and of other members of the calcite group has been found by Wyckoff9not to correspond with the cleavage rhombohedron but to be a steep rhombohedron which contains only two molecules.Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team Replica 2011, Colorado, and determined the length of the edge of its unit rhombohedron, ao, to be 5.61Å and the rhombic face angle a to be 47°46'. Later Wyckoff changed the aovalue to 5.84Å.10Using the values 5.84Å and 47°46'& JONESJfwbravo Suede Desert Boot, Stivali classici Uomo.785. This is higher by 0.075 than the observed specific gravity, 3.710. Bragg11and Wyckoff12in their latest compilations on crystal structure give the following dimensions for MnCO3: aoαao'α' Using the values 5.84Å and 47°20'Replica Scuderia Ferrari F1 2012.851, and using the values 6.01Å and 102°50' the specific gravity is 3.837. These are much higher than observed values for rhodochrosite. If we now assume that the specific gravity of pure rhodochrosite is 3.70 and itsnO is 1.816, and that the physical properties of natural rhodochrosites can be calculated from the chemical compositions, we can place on Plate 1 lines of equal specific gravity and index. On doing this we see that the reverse procedure is not possible, that is, knowing the specific gravity and the refractive indices we still cannot tell the composition, because the lines on the diagram are parallel or intersect at small angles. Simple qualitative chemical tests would serve to indicate the field in which some specimens would lie, but in most cases a quantitative analysis is necessary. In distinguishing rhodochrosites from minerals of the siderite-Bandiera Italiana Pole Scuderia Ferrari. For a givennO the specific gravity of a magnesian siderite will be about 0.1 lower than for rhodochrosite. Having studied the relationships of composition, specific gravity, and refractive indices of a number of rhodochrosites from a wide variety of localities, it remains to be seen in what ways rhodochrosite from Butte is similar or different from other rhodochrosites. As suggested above, it was the erratic relationship between color banding and the optical data of Butte rhodochrosite that induced this study, and it is especially because of this that the following descriptions of occurrence, mineral association, texture and isomorphism of Butte rhodochrosite are considered of interest to this paper. RHODOCHROSITE AT BUTTE, MONTANA The Butte district has produced over 400,000 tons of high grade rhodochrosite ore since 1917. During the present emergency lower grade ores are being beneficiated by flotation. The rhodochrosite is calcined in large rotary kilns to produce an oxide which contains about 58 per cent manganese. Most of the ore has come from the Emma mine on the Black Chief lode near downtown Butte, but rhodochrosite is common in most of the veins of the southwestern and western portions of the district.13 PUM3040040145 Ferrari Future Cat M2, rhodonite, sphalerite,PUMAFormula 1 BMW Motorsport , and galena.BRA5100003100220 Polo Classic Scuderia Ferrari. Rhodonite is abundant in the veins of the northern part of the district. Less common mineral associates of rhodochrosite are ankerite, calcite, barite,2.0 Fleece Pile Uomo Uomo,BRA6000050150240 Polo Mercedes Amg F1, tetrahedrite, tenantite, chalcocite and bornite. Some of the ore shoots in the Emma mine consist almost exclusively of rhodochrosite. They seem to be localized by certain vein intersections and by flattening in the dip of the veins. Numerous smaller stringers of rhodochrosite are parallel to the main veins. Most of the walls of the rhodochrosite veins are tight and sharp.Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team Replica 2011, silicified and pyritized for short distances away from the veins. Rhodochrosite is one of the latest of the primary minerals in the peripheral zone. Fracturing and brecciation preceded and accompanied its deposition. Some minor faults tend to diminish and disappear in the carbonate.Lined With Back Vents Giacche Baffled/trapuntate Donna. Scarpe da Ginnastica. Unisex. Strato Intermedio Donna. In the northern part of the district rhodochrosite and rhodonite are essentially contemporaneous, but both thin sections and hand specimens commonly show rhodonite to be veined and partly replaced by rhodochrosite. Hence it is probable that rhodochrosite continued to form after rhodonite. Low II' Waterproof Hiking Boots, compact and crystalline, with grains ranging in size from 0.1 mm. to over 6 cm.

Some of the banding is textural, dependent on size of grain and the number and character of minute inclusions. It is evident that much of the rhodochrosite has been deposited in successive layers. About seventy determinations of refractive index of rhodochrosite grains of all colors, grain size and associations were made on specimens from all parts of the southwestern and western portion of the district. The lowestnO noted is 1.778 in the cream-colored band of a sharply-Replica Scuderia Ferrari F1 2012 level of the Emma mine. The highestnO noted is 1.815 in dense pale pink rhodochrosite from the extreme western edge of the district. The great majority of the indices lie between 1.797 and 1.810, with the average at 1.8035.BRA5100008100225 Giacca Softshell Scuderia Ferrari.

These analyses and the optical data indicate that Butte rhodochrosite is lower in iron and higher in magnesium than most rhodochrosites. The rhodochrosites of Philipsburg, Montana, specimens U, V, and W, have similar characteristics.
