| Title | Tetrahedrite with quartz and pyrite |
|---|---|
| Description | Tetrahedrite, Cu12Sb4S13 (copper antimony sulfide), is named for its common crystal form, the tetrahedron. The tetrahedron is an interesting isometric crystal form. It is obvious where the four three fold axes of the isometric system belong, as each one exits out of the crystal through each of the four identical “pyramidal” peaks. |
