May 23, 2023 · Killer crystals of this amazing rare species, from the type locality! This is a 2.8 x 2.3 x 1.5 cm type locality specimen for Corkite. Collected in a fairly risky underground exploration to abandoned old mines here in the summer of 2019 by Robert Lawson (Allanton, Castle Douglas, Scotland, UK) co-author of the article: “The Mineralogy of Glandore Mine, County Cork, and a Re-Examination of ...
Corkite is a phosphate mineral in the beudantite subgroup of the alunite group. Corkite is the phosphate analogue of beudantite and with it, a complete solid solution range exists. Corkite will also form a solid solution with kintoreite. Corkite is named after County Cork, Ireland; the location where the first notable amount was discovered in 1869.

Aug 8, 2022 · Corkite, PbFe3(PO4)(SO4)(OH)6, an understudied relative of the jarosite family of Heisenberg antiferromagnets, has been synthesized and its magnetic properties characterized for the first time.
Corkite associated with plumbojarosite and goethite occurs in gossan and iron-formation at Black Mountain and Broken Hill, Aggeneys. Electron microprobe analyses indicate that there are two groups of corkite present in the area; one with high Cu and low (PO 4) 3− and the other with low Cu and high (PO and the other with low Cu and high (PO 4) 3− contents.
Corkite from Dernbach, Hessen-Nassau, Germany, is rhombohedral (a 7.28, c 16.821 A, Z = 3) and is related to the large isotype alunite-woodhouseite group. The crystal structure was refined first ...
Apr 1, 2009 · Giuseppettii andTadini (1980, 1987) placed Pb at (0, 0, 0) (the 3a site) in osarizawaite and corkite (but with large displacement parameters), Szymanski (1985) used this model for plumbojarosite ...
