About MackinawiteHide

View of the mine site

Mackinaw Mine, Monte Cristo Mining District, Snohomish County, Washington, USA

Formula:

FeS

Formerly accepted formula: (Fe,Ni)₉S₈; also given as (Fe,Ni)_1+xS (x = 0 to 0.11).
The current formula (FeS) is from Rickard (2023) and was subsequently approved by the IMA (Newsletter 78).

Colour:

Bronzy

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

2½

Specific Gravity:

4.17 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Tetragonal

Name:

Named after the discovery locality.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Mackinaw Mine, Monte Cristo Mining District, Snohomish County, Washington, USA

Dimorph of:

Troilite

May be confused with valleriite (which it was initially believed to be in the type location).

Mackinawite may form as a metastable product of sulfidation of goethite in the CH₄ atmosphere but only when CO₂ is added, as shown by an experiment of Wang et al. (2015); it is followed by pyrrhotite.

One of six minerals proposed to be essential for the emergence of life. Actually, one of two minerals, aside from fougèrite, to be vital in this matter due to "comprising precipitate membranes" (Russell & Ponce, 2020).

Related to buseckite, keilite and rudashevskyite, all of which are stabilised by additional essential divalent cations.
