About ParapierrotiteHide

Roland Pierrot (1930-1998)

Formula:

TlSb₅S₈

Some Sb may be replaced by As (note that pierrotite has a much higher As content).

Colour:

Black

Lustre:

Sub-Metallic

Hardness:

2½ - 3

Specific Gravity:

5.07

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Sartorite Group

Name:

Named for its close relation to pierrotite, which was named after Roland Pierrot (14 May 1930, Guéret, Creuse, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France - 9 November 1998, Orléans, Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire, France), a French mineralogist. He was Head of the Mineralogy Department and General Secretary of the National Geographical Service at BRGM (French Geological Survey).

Type Locality:

ⓘ Allchar, Ržanovo, Kavadarci Municipality, North Macedonia

Dimorph of:

Pierrotite

Typically found in prismatic crystals, also laths and grains, in some As and Tl rich deposits.
