Abstract

The oxidation of a native bismuth-molybdenite-ferberite-arsenopyrite assemblage in the Elsmore tin granite, New England district of New South Wales, has given rise to a suite of rare secondary minerals which includes koechlinite, russellite, rooseveltite, betpakdalite and a new phase corresponding to the synthetic compound tungsten(VI) oxide hemihydrate, W0Ã¢â€šÆ’.O.5HÃ¢â€šâ€š0. The oxidized assemblage, which is quite different to others in the region, is characteristic of very acidic conditions.
