Notes

Stibiconite, an antimony oxide mineral, is the alteration product of Stibnite. This pseudomorph forms as a dull, crusty yellow replacement mineral on top of Stibnite. The name Stibiconite is derived from a combination of the Greek word “stibi” (the old name for antimony) and “konis” (powder), alluding to this mineral’s powdery habit.
