Abstract
A hydrous zinc- and sodium-rich hydroxy-chlorosulfate, discovered in a sulfide sample collected by the Deep Sea Recovery Vehicle (DSRV) Alvi n in 1984, is identified as gordaite, Zn4Na(OH)(6)SO4Cl . 6H(2)O, rece ntly described as a new mineral species from Antofagasta, Chile. Resul ts of re-examination of the original Alvin dive sample from the Juan d e Fuca Ridge, northeastern Pacific Ocean, and additional data on gorda ite, including vibrational and luminescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffra ctometry and thermal analysis, are presented.
