Beneficiation characteristics of antimony minerals a review
Abstract. Antimony has long been reckoned as a strategic metal. It is used today not only in metallic form, e.g. as an alloying element in lead, but also to an increasing extent in the form of Sb 2 O 3 as a flame retardant filler in plastics. The mineral raw material that provides nearly all the world's supply of antimony is stibnite, Sb 2 S 3.

Studying Stibnite | Rock & Gem Magazine
Stibnite, or antimony trisulfide (Sb 2 S 3 ), is the most abundant of the roughly 100 antimony-bearing minerals. Antimony's chemical symbol (Sb) stems from stibium, the Latin word for stibnite. The origin of the word "antimony", however, is uncertain. One possibility is the 15th-century Middle English word antimonie, which literally means ...

Stibnite
Stibnite, sometimes called antimonite, is a sulfide mineral with the formula Sb2S3. This soft grey material crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group. It is the most important source for the metalloid antimony. The name is derived from the Greek στίβι stibi through the Latin stibium as the former name for the mineral and the element antimony.
