Abstract
The bluish-white, lustrous, very brittle metal (atomic no. 51, atomic wt., 121.75; specific gravity, 6.691; melting pt., 631°C) is found in nature in more than 100 minerals. However, only about one dozen ores are commercially important, such as Sb oxides and sulfides, and complex Cu-, Pb-, and Hg-Sb sulfides, the most important of which is stibnite (Sb2S3). In nature, it occurs primarily in the III oxidation state.
