Hendekasartorite

Hendekasartorite is a very rare thallium sulfosalt mineral[2] with formula Tl2Pb48As82S172. It is one of recently approved new members of sartorite homologous series,[1] by enneasartorite and heptasartorite.[3][4][2] All new members come from Lengenbach quarry in Switzerland, prolific in terms of thallium sulfosalt minerals.[5] Hendekasartorite is chemically similar to edenharterite and hutchinsonite.[6][7]
