Stibnite - Wikipedia
Stibnite, sometimes called antimonite, is a sulfide mineral, a mineral form of antimony trisulfide (Sb 2 S 3). It is a soft, metallic grey crystalline solid with an orthorhombic space group. [6]
Stibnite: Mineral information, data and localities.
Stibnite is a bit like graphite in that it will leave a streak when rubbed against paper. Over a period of many years, brilliant surfaces of freshly mined stibnite will become less shiny.
Stibnite | Properties, Occurrence, Formation and Uses Areas
Stibnite typically forms coarse, irregular masses or radiating sprays of needlelike crystals, but it can also be granular or massive. A widespread mineral, stibnite occurs in hydrothermal veins, hot-spring deposits, and replacement deposits that form at low temperatures (up to 400°F/200°C).
Stibnite Meanings and Crystal Properties - The Crystal Council
Stibnite, also known as Antimonite, is an antimony sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the forms of masses, but is most commonly known when seen in it’s semi-rare, long prismatic crystal structure.

Stibnite: Mineral & Crystal Guide - FossilEra.com
Stibnite is an antimony sulfide mineral with the chemical formula Sb₂S₃. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, forming elongated prismatic crystals that commonly grow in parallel clusters or radiating sprays.
What Is Stibnite Used For? From Alloys to Flame Retardants
Stibnite is the most economically significant antimony-bearing mineral. Its industrial importance lies in the properties of the derived antimony, which range from strengthening metals to enhancing fire resistance in consumer products.

The Stibnite Gold Project will restore the natural flow of the river and allow salmon to migrate to their historic spawning grounds for the first time in more than 80 years.
Court Clears Path For Idaho’s Critical Stibnite Antimony Mine
A federal district court ruled recently that the Stibnite Gold Project - a key source of domestic antimony - could proceed despite activist opposition.
Stibnite - Science History Institute Digital Collections
Stibnite is a soft mineral form of antimony trisulfide (Sb₂S₃). Stibnite appears as needle-like crystals with a metallic lead-gray coloring. Stibnite is used to manufacture matches, fireworks, and percussion caps for firearms.
