STRUCTURAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF FISCHESSERITE, A RARE GOLD SILVER SELENIDE FROM THE DE LAMAR MINE, OWYHEE COUNTY, IDAHO, USA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fischesserite, Ag3AuSe2, from the De Lamar mine, Owyhee County, Idaho, USA, was chemically and structurally analyzed. Electron-microprobe analyses give the chemical formula Ag2.98Cu0.01Au0.97Se2.03. Fischesserite is optically isotropic, silver white in color with a metallic luster. In reflected light, the mineral is pink. Where observed near naumannite, it appears darker with slightly bluish tints. Reflectivity values are 32.5 (471.1 nm), 30.0 (548.3 nm), 31.1 (586.6 nm), and 33.7% (652.3 nm). Fischesserite is cubic, space group I 4132, with a 9.965(1) A, V 989.5(2) A3 and Z = 8. The crystal structure has been refined to R = 2.69%. Fischesserite exhibits a garnet-like structure consisting of edge-sharing Ag[Se4Ag2Au2] and Au[Ag6Se2] polyhedra. Fischesserite is confirmed to be isotypic with petzite, Ag3AuTe2. The different crystal-chemical environments of noble metals in fischesserite and petzite are compared with those found in other silver–gold chalcogenides.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
