Short summary

We conducted this research to gain an understanding of the unknown crystal structure of mineral launayite, which contains elements like antimony, copper, and lead. Using advanced X-ray techniques, we solved its crystal structure and discovered new details, such as unit cell parameters, symmetry, and substitutions. These findings provide accurate information about its relationship with rouxelite.
