SMALTITE

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 249 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SMALTITE , a
mineral
  consisting of
cobalt
  diarsenide (CoAs2). It crystallizes in the cubic
system
  with the same hemihedral symmetry as pyrites; crystals have usually the form of cubes or cubo-octahedra, but are imperfectly developed and of some-what rare occurrence. More often the
mineral
  is found as compact or granular masses. The colour is tin-
white
  to steel-grey, with a metallic lustre; the streak is greyish black. Hardness 51; specific gravity 6.5. The
cobalt
  is partly replaced by
iron
  and nickel, and as the latter increases in amount there is a passage to the isomorphous species chloanthite (NiAs2). It occurs in veins with ores of cobalt, nickel, copper and silver: the best known locality is Schneeberg in
Saxony
 . The name smaltite was given by F. S. Beudant, in 1832, because the mineral was used in the preparation of smalt for producing a blue colour in
porcelain
  and glass. (L. J. S.)
