About Bismuthinite
Bismuthinite is a mineral consisting of bismuth sulfide. It is an important ore for bismuth. The crystals are steel-grey to off-white with a metallic luster. It is soft enough to be scratched with a fingernail and rather dense. Bismuthinite forms a series with the lead, copper, bismuth mineral aikinite.
