Boulangerite from
Bottino Mine, Stazzema, Lucca Province, Tuscany, Italy


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Boulangerite
Formula:Pb5Sb4S11
Comments:This is one of the most famous Bottino minerals and it is called also "plumosite". It forms feltry masses of very thin and delicate xls. In the past it was described as jamesonite, eteromorphite, boulangerite, zinkenite or meneghinite but recent studies have proved that Bottino's plumosite is always boulangerite (Garavelli et al., 1957; Orlandi et al., 2002). It is possible to find acicular xls up to 15 cm or in fibrous compact masses.
Habit:Acicular
Colour:dark grey
Quality for species:Excellent - world class for species or very significant. (!!)
Abundance at site:Common
Confirmation
Validity:Believed Valid
Associated Minerals:
Associates:Albite
Calcite
Chalcopyrite
Dolomite
Freibergite Subgroup
Galena
Meneghinite
Quartz
Siderite
Sphalerite
