The mineral is pale straw yellow in color and occurs in minute rosettes of micaceous crystals, usually associated with emmonsite. It is orthorhombic, space group Pmab...

...V. Gaines Richard Abstract A new mineral whose composition is lead uranyl tellurite has been found at La Moctezuma mine, Moctezuma, Sonora, Mexico. The mineral occurs as minute blades and rosettes in cracks and vugs in the oxidized zone of a tellurium—gold deposit. Dimensions of the largest crystal...

.... Eztlite, a secondary tellurium mineral from the Moctezuma mine, Mexico, is monoclinic, space group Cm , with a = 11.466(2) Å, b = 19.775(4) Å, c = 10.497(2) Å, β = 102.62(3)° and V = 2322.6(9) Å 3 . The chemical formula of eztlite has been revised to ${\rm Pb}_{\rm 2}^{2 +} {\rm Fe}_3^{3 +} $ (Te 4+ O 3...

...Richard V. Gaines Abstract A new hydrous basic ferric tellurite-sulfate Fe 2 (TeO 3 ) 2 (SO 4 ) ·3H 2 O has been found at the Moctezuma Mine, Sonora. It is identical with an unnamed mineral from Honduras partially described in 1944 by Frondel and Pough. The mineral is yellow to greenish yellow...
