Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DESCLOIZITE , a rare
mineral
  species consisting of basic lead and zinc vanadate, (Pb, Zn)2(OH)VO4, crystallizing in the orthorhombic
system
  and isomorphous with
olivenite
 . It was discovered by A: Damour in 1854, and named by him in honour of the French mineralogist Des Cloizeaux. It occurs as small prismatic or pyramidal crystals, usually forming drusy crusts and stalactitic aggregates; also as fibrous encrusting masses with a mammillary surface. The colour is deep
cherry
 -red to brown or black, and the crystals are transparent or translucent with a greasy lustre; the streak is orange-yellow to brown; specific gravity 5.9 to 6.2; hardness 31. A variety known as cuprodescloizite is dull green in colour; it contains a considerable amount of copper replacing zinc and some arsenic replacing Vanadium. Descloizite occurs in veins of lead ores in association with pyromorphite,
vanadinite
 , wulfenite, &c. Localities arethe Sierra de
Cordoba
  in Argentina, Lake Valley in Sierra county, New
Mexico
 ,
Arizona
 , Phoenixville in
Pennsylvania
 , and Kappel (Eisen-Kappel) near Klagenfurt in Carinthia.
Other names which have been applied to this species are vanadite, tritochorite and ramirite; the uncertain vanadates eusynchite, araeoxene and dechenite are possibly identical with it.
