FeSb2S4
Orthorhombic
Berthierite, an iron antimony sulfide mineral, was reported by Palache (1941b) as needles of an antimony compound from Sterling Hill. Subsequent examination of these by Cook (1973), and by the writer using X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive analytical methods, established that some of them are berthierite (see also zinkenite). The crystals are 0.5 mm in length, black, and acicular. The associated minerals are the same as given for realgar from the 900 level of Sterling Hill. Baumhauerite is not known from Franklin.
