About DigeniteHide

This section is currently hidden. Click the show button to view.
Formula:
Cu9S5
Colour:
Grey to greyish black, turning bluish on exposure to air
Lustre:
Metallic
Hardness:
2½ - 3
Specific Gravity:
5.546
Crystal System:
Trigonal
Name:
Named in 1844 by August Breithaupt from Greek διγενηζ digenus = of two origins, because it is related to chalcocite and covellite
Note: Many of the reported associations of digenite and djurleite, identified by powder diffraction, could be anilite and djurleite, as anilite transforms to digenite during grinding.

A recent study showed the existence of a complete solid-solution series between high digenite [cubic, high-temperature digenite] and berzelianite (Pirard & Hatert, 2008).
