Tennantite-(Cu)
Tennantite-(Cu) is a mineral with a cubic crystal system and a chemical composition primarily involving copper, arsenic, and sulfur. It belongs to the sulfosalt mineral class and is characterized by its metallic luster and typically dark, opaque coloration. The mineral exhibits a hardness of approximately 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale and has a relatively high density due to its heavy elemental composition. Its crystal structure is defined by the space group I-43m, which contributes to its distinct symmetry and form. Tennantite-(Cu) is part of a broader group of minerals that share similar structural and chemical properties, making it a subject of interest in mineralogical studies.
