	BISMUTHINITE (Bismuth Sulfide)
		Bismuthinite is heavier than stibnite and on closer inspection of the crystals, there exists a noticeable difference with bismuthinite's having straighter, flatter faces.
		In massive form the confusion is even more pronounced, but bismuthinite is not associated with the typical antimony or arsenic minerals to which stibnite is so commonly allied.
		Associations of bismuthinite are varied, but combinations with the rare elemental mineral bismuth are particularly special.

	Princess Mine, Moina, Tasmania
		This mine worked two well defined veins up to 200 mm wide, containing bismuthinite and wolframite in a quartz matrix, with topaz and fluorite, in pegamtites near the top of a biotite granite host (Reid, 1919).
		Bismuthinite reportedly occurred in long bladed crystals and delicate acicular forms.
		Bismuthinite - Occurs as bright silvery crystal aggregates to 4 cm long and as micro needles in small cavities in fluorite, also as inclusions within quartz or fluorite.

	Geological Setting
		The main component of the veins is quartz and sulphide minerals are concentrated as lumps among quartz crystals.
		The ore minerals within the veins are cubanite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite-tennantite, bismuthinite, sphalerite and native Au.
		High temperature ore minerals (cubanite, bismuthinite), wall rock alteration (secondary K-feldspar, pyrophylitic alteration), and spatial relations of veins with the pluton, all indicate a nearby source for the hydrothermal solutions which formed the quartz veins.

	Chemistry : Periodic Table : bismuth : key information
		It is not normally necessary to make bismuth in the laboratory as it is available commercially.
		Bismuth is found in nature largely as bismite (Bi), bismuthinite (Bi), and bismutite [(BiO)
		However it is generally made as a byproduct of copper, lead,tin, silver, gold, and zinc plants.

	Mineralogical data on salzburgite and paarite, two new members of the bismuthinite—aikinite series
		The associated minerals are: bismuthinite derivatives in the range bismuthinite—krupkaite, Ag-bearing lillianite, makovickyite, pavonite, cosalite, cannizzarite, tetradymite, native bismuth, chalcopyrite and pyrite.
		Salzburgite and paarite are new superstructures of the bismuthinite—aikinite series with a periodicity of order equal to a four-fold, and five-fold multiple, respectively, of the bismuthinite substructure motif.

	C&EN: IT'S ELEMENTAL: THE PERIODIC TABLE - Oxygen
		Occurrence: Found in the ores bismite and bismuthinite.
		It is mined as bismuth oxide (Bi, also known as bismite) or bismuth sulfide (Bi, bismuthinite), and the brittle, silvery elemental form is one of a few substances (water is another) for which the solid is less dense than the liquid.
		Compounds of bismuth typically have low solubility in most solvents, so that definitive formula assignments are usually based on X-ray diffraction studies of crystalline samples that have been isolated in small or indefinite quantities.

	Composition ranges and exsolution pairs for the members of the bismuthinite-aikinite series from Felbertal, Austria
		Three independent events of sulfosalt replacement were recognized at Felbertal, respectively yielding krupkaite, gladite and Cu-bearing bismuthinite as replacement products of the older bismuthinite–aikinite derivatives.
		Exsolution in the bismuthinite–aikinite series proceeds at each stage toward a pair of phases that are compositionally closest to the parent phase, building up to three-stage exsolution-induced sequences not described before.
		Trois événements indépendants de remplacement des sulfosels ont eu lieu à Felbertal, menant à la formation de krupkaïte, gladite et bismuthinite cuprifère, respectivement, comme produits de remplacement des dérivés de la série bismuthinite–aikinite antérieurs.

		Geochemically important pathfinder elements are Bi, Cu, As, Sb and Sn in the Main area, Cu, As, Sb and Zn in the Northern Main area and Ag, Te and Zn in the McMahon Ridge area.
		In the Main area, the most useful visual guide is the presence of bismuthinite.
		Systematic differences in mineral compositions (e.g., goldfieldite, enargite) from Main to Northern Main to McMahon Ridge area suggest that these deposits are part of a large zoned hydrothermal system.
