Djerfisherite, Alkali Copper-Iron Sulfide: A New Mineral from Enstatite Chondrites

Louis H. Fuchs 1

1 Chemistry Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois

A new mineral, essentially a potassium-copper-iron sulfide, occurs in accessory amounts in the enstatite chondrites Kota Kota (a find) and St. Marks (a fall), and has been identified visually in the enstatite achondrite Pena Blanca Springs (a fall). The x-ray diffraction pattern, electron-microprobe analysis, and its appearance in polished sections all serve to identify it.
