Gaspeite and associated Ni-rich minerals from veins in altered ultrabasic rocks from Duboštica, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The following suite of nickel minerals was found in veins of altered ultramafic rocks: gaspéite, retgersite and nickelhexahydrite. Unit cell dimensions of the minerals are: gaspéite a 4.648(3), c 14.95(2) &Aring ; (rhombohedral a 5.660 &Aring ; , α 48.49°) V 279.7 &Aring ; 3 ; retgersite a 6.787(5), c 18.27(2) &Aring ; , V 842(1) &Aring ; 3 ; nickelhexahydrite a 9.925(7), b 7.232(7), c 24.16(2), β 98.55(7), V 1715(2) &Aring ; 3. The means of four sets of ICP AES data for gaspéite from Duboštica, BiH are: NiO 49.63, MgO 0.17, CaO 0.45, FeO 6.36, CO2 43.25, Total 99.87 wt.%. This gives the empirical formula (based on 3 oxygens) (Ni0.73Fe0.10Ca0.01)Σ 0.84C1.08O3.00. In the described association of nickel minerals from Duboštica, the attainment of a series of kinetically controlled transitory equilibria results in the paragenetic formation of metastable mineral phases.
