Type Locality:
Description: Much doubt has been generated concerning lillianite from the original locality. Gustav Flink made a crystallographic study of "lillianite" in 1910, but Berry (1940) suggested that Flink's data could be identical to that of galenobismuthite, but with "c" doubled and concluded, based on XRD studies that "lillianite" was heterogeneous. Paul Ramdohr (1969) wrote - "Normally not stable at low temperature and actually broken down into a mixture of Pb- and Bi-sulfides, mostly galena and galenobismuthite [and acanthite], but sometimes intact." Ramdohr mentioned that similar heterogeneity was observed from other occurrences. An occurrence at Iilijärvi [Jilijärvi], Finland was believed by Ramdohr to have authentic lillianite, that is not transformed into a mixture over time. Syritso and Senerova (1964) studied the lillianite problem and provided data which "confirmed and enlarged" knowledge of the mineral from Finland. Otto and Strunz (1968) synthesized a homogeneous mineral with lillianite's formula and properties.

Geochronology

Mineralization age:Oligocene : 28.4 Ma to 24.8 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
