About HeteromorphiteHide

Formula:

Pb₇Sb₈S₁₉

Colour:

Iron black

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

2½ - 3

Specific Gravity:

5.73

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Plagionite Group

Name:

From the Greek ετερος for "different" and μορφή "form" in allusion to a proposed dimorph.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Caspari Mine, Uentrop, Arnsberg, Hochsauerlandkreis, Arnsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

This mineral is an intermediate member of a homologous series. The thickness of a galena sheet in the structure determines the series member. A very rare mineral.

Stoichiometrically similar to semseyite.

Feather ores ("plumosite" = jamesonite, boulangerite etc.) have often been mislabeled as heteromorphite; for discussion see http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,7,158675,158759#msg-158759

Unique IdentifiersHide

Mindat ID:

1886
