Abstract
Stibiconite is a naturally occurring antimony mineral. Studied in this investigation are five samples using Sb-121 Mossbauer spectroscopy. T he relative amounts of the oxidation states Sb(III) and Sb(V) are dete rmined with the ratio of Sb(III) to Sb(V) varying from 0.03 to 0.6. Th e Mossbauer data collected for these samples along with elemental anal ysis, provide a better understanding of the structure and composition of these minerals. A new chemical formula for stibiconite is proposed: Ca4xSb(III)3-8xSb(V)1+4x(O,OH,H2O)y.
