About ValentiniteHide

06618140014946615035762.jpg
Basil Valentine
Formula:
Sb2O3
Colour:
Colourless, white, light gray, light yellow
Lustre:
Adamantine, Pearly
Hardness:
2½ - 3
Specific Gravity:
5.76
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
Named after Basilius Valentinus (Basil Valentine) [1394 Mainz, Germany - 1450 "Germany?"], who wrote about the properties of antimony. Valentinus may have been a real 15th-century chemist but some historians argue that it was a pseudonym used by one or more 16th-century German authors.

Other InformationHide

Thermal Behaviour:
Heated in a closed tube, it fuses and partially sublimates. Before the blowpipe, on charcoal, it fuses easily and gives a white coating.
Notes:
Soluble in HCl.
Health Risks:
No information on health risks for this material has been entered into the database. You should always treat mineral specimens with care.
