The chemical formula of sphalerite is (Zn,Fe)S. It is a zinc sulfide containing variable amounts of iron that substitutes for zinc in the mineral lattice. The iron content is normally less than 25% by weight. The amount of iron substitution that occurs depends upon iron availability and temperature, with higher temperatures favoring higher iron ...

Rb–Sr data for sphalerites from Coy mine, East Tennessee, define an isochron age of 377 ± 29 Myr, ruling out any genetic connection with the Alleghenian orogeny. Instead, MVT mineralization in the eastern United States was apparently generated from fluids expelled during thrusting associated with the older Acadian orogeny (380–350 Myr).

Coarsely crystalline, dark-reddish brown, low-Fe sphalerite is the principal ore mineral in the Central Tennessee district. In the Elmwwod-Gordonsville area of Tennessee, reddish sphalerite commonly occurs with calcite, fluorite, barite, yellowish sphalerite, galena, and minor drusy quartz and dolomite. At Burkesville in Kentucky, quartz and ...

Mar 23, 2017· Detailed Description. Sphalerite, zinc sulfide, is and has been the principal ore mineral in the world. Zinc uses range from metal products to rubber and medicines. Zinc alloys readily with other metals and is chemically active. On exposure to air, it develops a thin gray oxide film (patina), which inhibits deeper oxidation (corrosion) of the ...

Forty sphalerite samples from the Star mine, Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho, and 19 sphalerite samples from other Coeur d'Alene mines have been quantitatively analyzed by spectrographic methods for Fe, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ga, Ge, In, Mn, Co, and Hg. The samples from the Star vein were collected over a strike length of 2,000 feet and a vertical distance of …

Sphalerite is a zinc sulfide mineral in zinc deposits worldwide and is an ore at some mines. Sphalerite specimens of smithsonite crystals are saved by miners that work in zinc mines preserving them from being crushed in the zinc processing. To purchase mineral specimens, go to the Online order form. Sizes: (t) = Thumbnail, (m) = Miniature, (c ...

Description. These sphalerite crystals are from the Elmwood Mine in Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee, Ba-F-Pb-Zn District, US. This mine contains three shafts called the Elmwood, Cumberland, and Gordonsville. It has an entry slope called the Stonewall. They contain eleven different minerals including sphalerite which is the main ore mineral.

It is a common gangue mineral associated with the sphalerite which is a sulfide (Zn and S) and the primary ore at the mine. This specimen consists of plate-like formation of lustrous complex sphalerites that hosts several cubic fluorites that are scattered about the plate This piece measures 4 1/8 x 4 x 1 5/8 inches or 104 x 102 x 41 mm.

The H. N. Johns Prospect is near Mooresburg, Tennessee. Historically the site has been part of the Copper Ridge Zinc Mining District. The site was first discovered in 1916 by Supposedly American Zinc Company. The ore mined is composed of sphalerite, calamine and greenockite with waste material consisting primarily of chert.

MISSISSIPPI Valley type (MVT) ore deposits commonly consist of some combination of lead, zinc and iron sulphides accompanied by barite, fluorite, dolomite and calcite. They are thought to form by fluid expulsion from sedimentary successions1–3,but their exact origin has remained controversial because of the scarcity of reliable geochronological data. In a …
