Formula:

Ag₂Pb_12-xTl_x/2As_18+x/2S₄₀

May contain minor Sb substituting for As.
Substitution 2Pb <-> Tl + As. Topa & Kolitsch (2018) revised the general formula to Ag_xTl_yPb_16-2(x+y)As_16+x+y-zSb_zS₄₀ (with 1.6 < x < 2, 0 < y < 3, 0 < z < 3.5).

Silver to lead-gray, tarnishes iridescent

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

5.33 - 5.41

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Sartorite Group

Name:

Named after Gerhard vom Rath (20 August 1830, Duisburg, Prussia - 23 April 1888, Koblenz, German Empire), Professor of Mineralogy, Bonn, Germany.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_vom_Rath :

"Rath was educated at Cologne, at Bonn University, and finally at Berlin, where he graduated Ph.D. in 1853. In 1856, he became assistant to Johann Jakob Nöggerath in the mineralogical museum at Bonn, and succeeded to the directorship in 1872. Meanwhile, in 1863 he was appointed extraordinary professor of geology, and in 1872 he became professor of geology and mineralogy in the university of Bonn.

He was distinguished for his accurate researches on mineralogy and crystallography; he described a great many new minerals, some of which were discovered by him, and he contributed largely to our knowledge of other minerals, notably in an essay on tridymite. He travelled much in southern Europe, Palestine, and the United States, and wrote several essays on petrology, geology and physical geography, on earthquakes and on meteorites. He died at Koblenz in 1888."

Type Locality:

ⓘ Lengenbach Quarry, Fäld, Binn, Goms, Valais, Switzerland

Berlepsch et al. (2002) note that Ag substitution is probably essential in the structure and makes the mineral different from dufrénoysite.
