Abstract

Purpurite Mn³⁺(PO₄) from the spodumene pegmatite of the Kolmozero deposit, Kola Peninsula, Russian Arctic, was studied comprehensively, which allowed to obtain the data about its morphology, mineral assemblage, chemical composition and crystal structure. The Raman spectrum of the mineral was also obtained. Purpurite occur as powdery aggregates on crystal surfaces and cleavage planes of lithiophilite and spodumene, as well as patches among of secondary mineral masses filling the cavities in pegmatite. Purpurite from Kolmozero has high iron content with Mn/(Mn+Fe) ≈ 0.55. Its composition is close to the isomorphic heterosite Fe³⁺(PO₄). The crystal structure of natural purpurite has been studied for the first time in this work. Purpurite is orthorhombic, space group Pbnm, unit cell parameters: a = 4.7783(3), b = 9.7417(5), c = 5.8388(4) Å, V = 271.79(3) Å³, R₁ = 2.42 %. The crystal structure of purpurite is based upon layers of vertex-sharing octahedra (Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺)O₆ that linked via PO₄ tetrahedra. The (Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺)O₆ octahedra are strongly distorted.
