  ZINKENITE Chapter 21. Sulfides, arsenides, antimonides, and sulfosalts
Opaque area is a zinkenite-quartz boudin in calcite (white) with indiscernible realgar, from the 900 level at Sterling Hill.
Zinkenite, a lead antimony sulfide mineral, was found on the 900 level at Sterling Hill in the early 1990’s.
Part of the material referred to by Palache (1941b) as “needles of an antimony compound” was found by the writer to be zinkenite; see also berthierite.

 ZINKENITE (Lead Antimony Sulfide)
Zinkenite is one of a few sulfide minerals that form fine acicular crystals that appear as hair-like fibers.
The fibrous aggregates may be so thick as to cover a specimen with a mat of hair-like fibers or it may be sparsely dessiminated between other minerals and may be confused with stray hairs or dark lint.
Zinkenite is a sulfosalt, a segment of sulfides where the antimony acts more like a metal than a non-metal and occupies a position where it is bonded to sulfurs.

 Selected Specimens
One of the classics from the Oruro area are the zinkenite crystals that have become classics over the years.
All ofthese specimens have tiny green, clear crystals of an unknown mineral sprinkled amongst and on the zinkenites.
Some of the bundles have a white mineral in between the metallic crystals of zinkenite and there are a number of stannite crystals present amongst the zinkenite crystals.

 STIBNITE Chapter 21. Sulfides, arsenides, antimonides, and sulfosalts
It was later found at Sterling Hill in 1990 and verified using X-ray powder methods.
It occurs on the 800 and 900 levels, as microscopic crystals associated with locally abundant zinkenite, and also with arsenopyrite, realgar, calcite, quartz, pyrite, and silicates.
“Needles of an antimony compound” were reported from the 900 level by Palache (1941b), but re-examination of Palache’s crystals showed them to be zinkenite and berthierite.

Zinkenite was originally described as a massive, semi-fibrous, metallic, steel-grey mineral, occurring plentifully at the Magnet mine.
It was later found to be boulangerite and therefore invalidated in the 1970 Catalogue.
It has since been reported as occurring in magnetite in the St. Dizier tin skarn, near Granville Harbour on the West Coast.

In addition to the fact that these are exceptionally large crystals in length, it must be noted that many of them are rather thick as well.
The associated species with these specimens are zinkenite, pyrite, minor quartz; and additionally nearly every specimen when observed under high magnification shows the presence of micro (>1mm) brass-colored cuboctahedral ferrokesterite crystals and/or  micro (>1mm) glassy, canary yellow cervantite crystals.
It is associated with minor acicular zinkenite, and is nearly pristine.
