From the Greek, stimmi or stibi, \"antimony,\" thence to the Latin, stibium. Also from the Greek anthemon, \"flower\" in allusion to the form of crystal druses. Lead-grey to silvery grey in colour, it often develops a black, iridescent tarnish on exposure to light. It normally occurs as elongated, prismatic crystals that may be bent or twisted. These crystals are often marked by striations parallel to the prism faces. Stibnite typically forms coarse, irregular masses or radiating sprays of needlelike crystals, but it can also be granular or massive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA widespread mineral, in a large range of quality, Stibnite occurs in hydrothermal veins, hot-spring deposits and replacement deposits that form at low temperatures (up to 400°F\/200°C). It is often associated with Galena Cinnabar, Realgar, Orpiment, Pyrite and Quartz. It is found in massive aggregates in Granite and Gneiss rocks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStibnite is used to manufacture matches, fireworks, and percussion caps for firearms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther uses are in the pyrotechnic industries, namely in the glitter \u0026amp; fountain mixtures.
