New data on Lotharmeyerite

Abstract

The new species lotharmeyerite from the Ojuela mine, Mapimi, Durango, Mexico was recently described by Dunn (1983). Unfortunately, the very small crystals in drusy growths which that author had at his disposal did not permit the determination of a number of important characteristics. The availability of larger, individual crystals from the same locality now makes possible a more complete description of the species.

The authors would like to thank Ronald Bentley who provided samples of lotharmeyerite on behalf of the Perkins Sams Collection and Kent England who provided additional specimens. Carol Stockton of the Gemological Institute of America prepared the SEM photographs. Randy Heuser and James Conca of the California Institute of Technology performed the microprobe analyses and the water determination, respectively.
