Description

The common formula of the minerals franckeite, cylindrite and potosiite is known to be w PbS x SnS2 y FeS z Sb2S3. The tin Moessbauer spectra showed the existence of two Sn(IV) and two Sn(II) species, and the iron spectra one high spin Fe(II) and two Fe(III) species. For antimony, only one Sb(III) phase is present, except in potosiite where also 20 % of Sb(V) were found. The mineralogical relationships within this group were confirmed by the Moessbauer spectroscopical results
