Short summary

Erzwiesite, ideally Ag8Pb12Bi16S40, Z = 1, is a new sulfosalt mineral discovered in the Erzwies mining area, Gastein Valley, Salzburg Province, Austria. The empirical formula is (Ag,Cu)8.23(Pb,Cd)11.33(Bi,Sb)16.31 (S,Te,Se)40.03 (based on 76 apfu). Erzwiesite crystallises in space group Cmcm (a = 4.085(5), b = 13.462(15), c = 33.92(4) Å, and V = 1866(4) ų). Erzwiesite is the first natural (8:8) homologue of the lillianite homologous series and is named after its type locality.
