... in the sulfate-rich thermal water of both intervals resulted in precipitation of rosickýite, the monoclinic polymorph of S, as nanocrystalline globular protuberances on surfaces of calcite crystals. This is the first recorded occurrence of rosickýite in a tufa-travertine deposit and the first recognition...

...Susanne Douglas; Heixong Yang Abstract Rosickyite is a rare form of sulfur (γ-sulfur; monoclinic symmetry) that is not thermodynamically predicted to be stable at Earth's surface temperatures; instead, it reverts to the more common α-sulfur form (orthorhombic symmetry). Here we show, for the first...

... called magneto-somes ( Blakemore 1975 ; Bazylinski and Frankel 2004 ). The magnetite crystals in magnetosomes have unique morphologies, even when compared to other biologically produced magnetite [i.e. via Fe(III) reduction]. The mineral rosickýite is another example. Typically an unstable, high...

... that colonize nutrient-containing glass and grow perpendicular to previously existing fractures ( Staudigel et al. 2006 ). Biogenic minerals are robust biomarkers, but only a few minerals are known to be exclusively biogenic, including rosickýite (γ-sulfur) and hazenite [KNaMg 2 (PO 4 ) 2 ·14H 2 O] ( Hazen...

...-named anorthoroselite. Sulphur is the older species and is orthorhombic, whereas later defined sulphur-β is monoclinic. Sulphur-β becomes clinosulphur. Another monoclinic polymorph of sulphur is also known, which has been named rosickýite (nomenclature without suffix). When polymorphs...
