RM2917 Surite with cerussite and fluorite

Can Rovira quarry, Sant Fost de Campsentelles, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain

More photos

This is one of the few samples obtained in our last studies in this quarry. We saw a mica-like platy crystals, with a pearly luster and hexagonal form. The results of the different analytical techniques indicated that it was surite (SEM-EDS, EPMA, XRD, Raman). It is accompanied by cerussite, fluorite (purple), baryte and galena.
Surite is a very rare species based on a cerussite-like layer intercalated with a 2:1 layer of smectite. Can Rovira is the second locality in Europe and one of the few localities worldwide.

Size: 3.9 x 3.7 x 2.5 cm.
Found in ±2020.
