FREIESLEBENITE

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 94 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FREIESLEBENITE , a rare
mineral
  consisting of sulphantimonite of silver and lead, (Pb,Ag2)5Sb4S11 The monoclinic crystals are prismatic in habit, with deeply striated prism and
dome
  faces. The colour is steel-grey, and the lustre metallic; hardness 22i specific gravity 6.2. It occurs with
argentite
 , chalybite and galena in the silver veins of the Himmelsfurst mine at Freiberg, Saxony, where it has been known since 1720. The species was named after J. K. Freiesleben, who had earlier called it Schilf-Glaserz. Other localities are Hiendelaencina near Guadalajara in Spain, Kapnik-Banya in Hungary, and
Guanajuato
  in
Mexico
 . A species separated from freieslebenite by V. von Zepharovich in 1871, because of differences in crystal-line form, is known as diaphorite (from &mope, " difference") ; it is very similar to freieslebenite in appearance and has perhaps the same chemical composition (or possibly Ag2PbSb2S5), but is orthorhombic in crystallization. A third
mineral
  also very similar to freieslebenite in appearance is the orthorhombic andorite, AgPbSbaS6, which is
mined
  as a silver ore at Oruro in ' Bolivia.
