Abstract
This paper reviews the literature on the chemical compositions and crystal chemistry of colusite and arsenosulvanite to evaluate whether they can be unambiguously distinguished as two mineral species. Compositional, HRTEM, and SAED studies of Sn-free colusite from the Gies Au-Ag telluride deposit, Montana, new compositional data for colusite from marbles in the Carrara area (Lorano and Calagio), Italy, and single-crystal structural refinements of Sn-poor and Sn-rich colusite from Lorano, are presented.
