Minerals of the stibniteantimonselite series, in close association with tiemannite, clausthalite, kullerudite, Sebearing stibioluzonite, native gold, quartz and barite, were discovered in the Laerma and Qiongmo gold deposits, western Qinling, China. Based on Se/(S+Se) ratios of microprobe analyses this binary system of stibniteantimonselite is quarterly divided into stibnite, selenium stibnite, sulfur antimonselite and antimonselite. Microhardness of the stibnite subseries (Sb=58.47%-73.81%,S=11.86%-28.76%,Se=0.00%-29.12%) and the antimonselite series (Sb=43.78%-59.13%,Se=29.20%-49.72%,S=0.00%-11.43%) is 101.26 and 103.00 kg/mm2, respectively. Reflectivities of the series are (470 nm)Rg’=42.62%-47.62%,Rp’=30.83%-40.55%; (550 nm)Rg’=41.84%-46.75%,Rp’=31.48%-38.85%; (590 nm)Rg’=42.25%-46.63%,Rp’=30.73%-39.46%; (650 nm)Rg’=43.30%-46.48%,Rp’=30.01%-41.56%. Cell parameters obtained from two Sebearing stibnite samples are a=1.120 9-1.121 2 nm,b=1.129 9-1.130 3 nm,c=0.384 7-0.384 9 nm,respectively. As may be seen from the above data, the higher the Se concentration, the bigger the cell parameters.
