Locality type: Mine Classification Species: Jamesonite Formula: Pb4 FeSb6 S14 Comments: Herja jamesonite contains manganese. Not enough Mn (<1 wt.%) to make benavidesite (>1 wt.%), but enough to affect the diffraction pattern. Marc Wilson at the Carnegie in Pittsburgh found the grey needles enclosed in calcite to be jamesonite. Habit: fine felted needles Colour: grey Luminescent properties: none Quality for species: Good crystals or rich for species - important (!)
