Bismuthinite from
Carrock Mine, Mungrisdale, Eden, Cumbria, England, UK


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Bismuthinite
Formula:Bi2S3
Comments:Cooper & Stanley (1990): "in association with bismuth, josëite, ingodite, molybdenite etc. in quartz. Phillips (1837) first noted the occurrence. In its finely fibrous form, it is difficult to distinguish from acicular sulphosalts such as cosalite, jamesonite, and boulangerite and was described by Davidson & Thomson (1951: 142) as 'tufts of delicate hair-like crystals which easily become detached from the matrix and blow away in the wind.'"
Habit:acicular crystals to 25mm; small masses with typical fibrous-lamellar cleavage
Confirmation
Validity:Believed Valid
