About RobinsoniteHide

Formula:

Pb₄Sb₆S₁₃

Colour:

Lead-gray

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

2½ - 3

Specific Gravity:

6.7

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

Named in 1951 by Leonard Gascoigne Berry, Joseph John Fahey, and Edgar Herbert Bailey in honour of Stephen Clive Robinson (12 September 1911, Pincher Creek, Claresholm Census Division, Alberta, Canada - 13 September 1981, Saanichton, Capital Regional District, British Columbia, Canada), Canadian mineralogist, Geological Survey of Canada, and former Professor of Mineralogy, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. Robinson synthesized the compound in 1947 (Robinson, 1948) before the mineral was found in nature.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Red Bird Mine, Antelope Springs Mining District, Pershing County, Nevada, USA

The structure as in case of, e.g., boulangerite, jamesonite, and zinkenite, comprises interconnected SbS₃ groups.

Fluorescence of RobinsoniteHide

In UV light:

Not fluorescent in UV

Other InformationHide

Notes:

Raman bands connected with stretching and bending of the SbS₃ groups are between 350 and 175 cm^-1.

Etching with 40% KOH occurs in a few minutes, distinguished from boulangerite which remains unaffected for up to 10 minutes.

Health Risks:

No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
