About CosaliteHide

Formula:
Pb2Bi2S5
Always contains minor Cu and nearly always contains minor Ag. Both seem to be essential.
Colour:
Grey
Lustre:
Metallic
Hardness:
2½ - 3
Specific Gravity:
6.86 - 6.99
Crystal System:
Orthorhombic
Name:
From the locality at the Cosala Mine, Sinaloa, Mexico.
One of the more common lead-bismuth sulphides, along with galenobismutite.

Appears to contain Cu and Ag as apparently essential constituents, according to Clark (1993) ("Hey's Mineral Index") and Zak et al. (1992) and the detailed study of Topa & Makovicky (2010). The latter propose the general formula CuxAgi+sPb8-2s-0.5(x+i)Bi8+sS20; they state: cosalite is "a unique case of solid-solution based on a combined omission-interstitial insertion substitution".
