Short summary
The plagionite group is a family of complex sulfides (lead-antimony sulfosalts) encountered in various Pb-Cu-Zn ore deposits. Analysis of these crystal structures confirms a systematic Pb-versus-Sb substitution in two adjacent cation positions. Such a substitution varies according not only to the Pb / Sb ratio of each member but also, apparently, to the kinetics of crystallization. Re-examination of a Pb-free synthetic derivative permitted its redefinition as a Na-Sb sulfosalt.
