Stibnite - Wikipedia Stibnite, sometimes called antimonite, is a sulfide mineral, a mineral form of antimony trisulfide (Sb 2 S 3) It is a soft, metallic grey crystalline solid with an orthorhombic space group [6]
Stibnite | Properties, Occurrence, Formation and Uses Areas Stibnite typically forms coarse, irregular masses or radiating sprays of needlelike crystals, but it can also be granular or massive A widespread mineral, stibnite occurs in hydrothermal veins, hot-spring deposits, and replacement deposits that form at low temperatures (up to 400°F 200°C)
Stibnite: Mineral information, data and localities. Stibnite is a bit like graphite in that it will leave a streak when rubbed against paper Over a period of many years, brilliant surfaces of freshly mined stibnite will become less shiny
Stibnite Meanings and Crystal Properties - The Crystal Council Stibnite, also known as Antimonite, is an antimony sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the forms of masses, but is most commonly known when seen in it’s semi-rare, long prismatic crystal structure These long, tubular crystals can be seen ranging from a few inches, to a few feet
Stibnite | Antimony, Sulfide, Ore | Britannica Stibnite, antimony sulfide (Sb2S3), the principal ore of antimony This mineral has a brilliant metallic lustre, is lead- to steel-gray in colour, and fuses readily in a candle flame (at about 525° C [977° F])
Stibnite Mineral Data Comments: Prismatic crystals of metallic-lustered stibnite Location: Xikuangshan Mine, Lengshuijang, Hunan Province, China Scale: Crystal size 5-10 cm Warning: this large pop-up is very compute intensive and may not work well with some computers Lead gray, Bluish lead gray, Steel gray, Black
Understanding Stibnite - Gem-A Stibnite is an antimony trisulphide mineral with the chemical formula Sb2S3 It is a natural mineral source of the chemical element antimony (Sb), which is a lustrous grey metalloid, and it is mined primarily for this reason
Stibnite - The Bladed Crystals - MineralExpert. org Stibnite is a compound of antimony (Sb) and sulfur (S), with the formula Sb 2 S 3 Stibnite is a member of the orthorhombic system, often occurring as long, prismatic 4-sided crystals with pyramidal terminations at each end Crystals may be quite large, often resembling swords
Stibnite - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Stibnite is defined as a sulfide metalloid mineral of antimony with the chemical formula (Sb2S3), known for its shiny lead-gray color that tarnishes to black, and its occurrence in various crystal habits
Mineral Spotlight: Stibnite - calvin. edu Stibnite is a lead or steel-gray colored sulfide mineral with a metallic luster and long prismatic crystals This mineral typically occurs in hydrothermal veins or hot-spring deposits and can be found in areas across the world—from the Hunan Province of China to New Brunswick, Canada
