About ShimeniteHide

Formula:
Tl5Sb21-yAsyS34
9 ≤ y ≤ 10
Crystal System:
Triclinic
Name:
for the type locality and region within which it occurs
A new member of the newly constituted Chabournéite Group (IMA 20-F). Discovery of shimenite is somewhat related to discovery of Dewitite, which also belongs to this group.
