Noyesite
Noyesite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula consisting of antimony, tellurium, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, and phosphorus. It crystallizes in the cubic crystal system and is characterized by its metallic luster, dark coloration, and relatively low hardness. Its density is moderate, though specific values are not commonly reported. Noyesite is classified as a sulfosalt, a group of minerals that typically contain sulfur, metal, and additional anions such as tellurium or antimony. Due to its complex chemical composition and structural arrangement, it is of interest in mineralogical studies, particularly in understanding the diversity of sulfosalts.
