About FizélyiteHide

Sándor Fizély

Formula:

Ag₅Pb₁₄Sb₂₁S₄₈

In an "Ag-excess fizélyite", Yang et al. (2009) found an additional Ag site (Ag2) with ~21% site occupancy; the formula is Ag_5.94Pb_13.74Sb_20.84S₄₈. This formula actually probably corresponds to ramdohrite.

Colour:

Lead grey to steel gray

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

Specific Gravity:

5.56

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Lillianite Homologous Series Group

Name:

After Sándor Fizély (1856–1918), Hungarian mining engineer, who discovered the mineral.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Herja Mine, Baia Mare, Maramureș County, Romania

Compositionally close to ramdohrite.
