Name:
The name reflects its composition: tellurium and bismuth.
Prominent bright silvery metallic cleavages, often curved. Euhedral crystals rare
Tetradymite Group. Tellurantimony-Tellurobismuthite Series. One of many Bi-Te phases known, the list including unnamed species, too.
A solid solution series exists between tellurobismuthite and hedleyite (Brown and Lewis, 1962) : “X-ray study shows that a single solid solution series exists from Te 32 at % to Te 60 at % in the system Bi-Te, which includes the minerals tellurobismuthite, wehrlite and hedleyite.”
