About SemseyiteHide

Andor Semsey

Formula:

Pb₉Sb₈S₂₁

Colour:

Steel-grey to black

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

2½

Specific Gravity:

6.08

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Plagionite Group

Name:

For Andor von Semsey (22 December 1833, Kassa, Hungary - 14 August 1923, Budapest, Hungary), a Nobleman and amateur mineralogist. The mineral andorite is also named after him.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Baia Sprie mine, Baia Sprie, Maramureș County, Romania

Semseyite belongs to a homologous series of lead antimony sulphides. The structure contains sheets of galena, the thickness of this sheet determines the position in the homologous series. Semseyite has the thickest sheet and fülöppite the thinnest.

Stoichiometrically similar to heteromorphite.
