| A series between Bismuthinite and Aikinite The bismuthinite-aikinite (Bi2S3-CuPbBiS3) series of ordered derivatives (superstructures) is based on the incremental Bi+ vacancy → Pb + Cu substitution (Petříček & Makovicky 2006). Members of the series include Aikinite, Bismuthinite, Emilite, Friedrichite, Gladite, Krupkaite, Paarite, Pekoite, Salzburgite | ||||||||||||||||||||
