Extract

During an investigation of stibiconite and cervantite (Vitaliano and Mason, 1952) we examined many specimens of antimony ochre. The commonest mineral in these specimens proved to be stibiconite, but others were found, and to establish their identity it became necessary to study the secondary products as a group. The mineralogy of these oxygenated secondary antimony minerals presents unusual problems on account of their earthy and often inhomogeneous nature. Our experience indicates that without X-ray powder photographs it is difficult to establish the true identity of much of this material. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of our investigations and to provide more adequate descriptions of some little-known species.
