The crystal structure of olivenite, ideally Cu(2)(AsO(4))(OH) [dicopper(II) arsenate(V) hydroxide], was redetermined from an untwinned and phosphate-containing natural sample, composition Cu(2)(As(0.92)P(0.08)O(4)), from Majuba Hill (Nevada, USA). Olivenite is structurally analogous with the important rock-forming mineral andalusite, Al(2)OSiO(4). Its structure consists of chains of edge-sharing, distorted [CuO(4)(OH)(2)] octa-hedra extending parallel to [001]. These chains are cross-linked by i ...[more]
