An oxychloride of mercury, Hg2OCl, found as transparent or translucent yellow or greenish yellow monoclinic crystals (see also quot. 1900).
1900H. W. Turner in Mining & Sci. Press (San Francisco) 21 July 64/1 In addition to cinnabar, mercury occurs in the native form..and as yellow-green crystals. Prof. S. L. Penfield has identified the white coating as calomel or mercury chloride (Hg2Cl2), and the greenish crystals as an oxychloride of mercury, forming a new mineral species, for which I have suggested the name terlinguaite. 1903A. J. Moses in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. CLXVI. 259 Of the three possibly different substances to which the name terlinguaite has hitherto been applied we have..1st. The mineral here described. 2d. The undetermined rough yellow crystals mentioned in No. 5. 3d. The pulverulent yellow masses. Ibid., Terlinguaite.—This name should be limited to the yellow monoclinic oxychloride of mercury here described. 1932[see montroydite]. 1964Mineral. Abstr. XVI. 619/1 The ore deposit is in Upper Cretaceous liparites and tuffs [in Kamchatka, U.S.S.R.]. Brief descriptions..are given for native mercury, calomel, eglestonite, terlinguaite, and mosesite. |
