toibumine
Toibumine is a rare and poorly documented mineral that belongs to the class of sulfosalts, a group of compounds characterized by a combination of sulfur and other elements, typically metals. Its chemical formula is Pb₃Sb₄S₁₃, indicating it consists of lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), and sulfur (S). The mineral was first identified in the early 20th century, though its occurrence remains limited to a few specific geological settings.
Toibumine is typically found in hydrothermal veins associated with silver-lead-zinc deposits, often alongside other sulfosalts such
The name "toibumine" derives from the Toibum mine, where it was first discovered. Like many sulfosalts, toibumine
The mineral’s structure and properties have been studied using techniques such as X-ray diffraction, which confirms
