About PolybasiteHide

Formula:

[Ag₆Sb₂S₇][Ag₉CuS₄]

Colour:

Black with dark ruby red internal reflections

Lustre:

Metallic

Hardness:

2½ - 3

Specific Gravity:

6.1

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Member of:

Pearceite-Polybasite Group

Name:

From the Greek πολύς, poly, "many" and βάσις, basis, "a base" in allusion to the many base elements present.

Type Locality:

ⓘ Freiberg Mining District, Mittelsachsen, Saxony, Germany

Isostructural with:

Pearceite

Pearceite-Polybasite series.

One of the four "ruby silvers" (pyrargyrite, proustite and miargyrite are the other three).
Two structural varieties (trigonal, P321, corresponding to the polytype T2ac, and monoclinic, C2/c, corresponding to the polytype M2a2b2c) are reported by Evain et al. (2006). The third polytype is Tac, space group P-3m1.

In a nomenclature change in 2006, the old name antimonpearceite was replaced by polybasite-Tac, arsenpolybasite-221 by pearceite-T2ac, arsenpolybasite-222 by pearceite-M2a2b2c, polybasite-221 by polybasite-T2ac, and polybasite-222 by polybasite-M2a2b2c (Bindi et al., 2007).

Regarding the type locality, see: https://www.mindat.org/mesg-576969.html

Structure details:
* a sequence (along c), of two alternating layers:
* a [Ag₆Sb₂S₇]^2- layer (A), and
* a [Ag₁₀S₄]²⁺ layer (B), with linearly-coordinated metal positions (B sites), usually occupied by Cu, thus leading to[Ag₉CuS₄]²⁺ composition.
