| Abstract/Notes | SummaryRajite was found at Lone Pine, New Mexico, by R. A. Jenkins. It occurs as small (1.5 mm) crystals in rhyolite with mackayite, and may be a pseudomorph after teineite. Analysis gave CuO 18.4, 15.3, 18.0; TeO2 73.7, 79.8, 79.1; rem. (respectively) 7.9, 2.4, 2.3. Some CaO in samples 2 and 3: 2.5, 0.6%. This gives CuTe2O5, identical to the artificial compound prepared by Moret et al. (1969). Easily soluble in dilute acids; readily fusible.Monoclinic P21/c with a = 6.866 Å, b = 9.314, c = 7.598, β = 109.1°. Strongest lines 3.064(10), 4.654(8), 3.348(8), 3.111(7), 2.744(7), 3.793(6B), 2.844(5), 2.796(5). With Z = 4, ρcalc = 5.77 g/cm3.Crystals Duesbury green (RHS-131D), H = 4, ρmeas = 5.75 g/cm3. Pleochroic in greens γ > β > α; α = 2.115, β = 2.135, ‖ [010], γ = 2.26, α:[001] 22° in obtuse β, 2Vγ = 40°. | ||
