Short summary
A new sulfosalt mineral species, lazerckerite, Ag3.7Pb4.6(Sb7.9Bi3.8)Σ11.7S24, has been found, identified, structurally solved, and approved by the IMA. The mineral belongs to the Sb–Bi mixed members of the andorite branch of the lillianite homologous series. The description and characterization of the mineral are presented, and the ways of distinguishing the mineral from other similar members of the group on the basis of chemical results are explained.
