48 THE METALLURGY OF ANTIMONY.<br />
stibnite, sometimes associated with iron pyrites and brown spar, is<br />
found in true veins, or between the planes of stratification, or in<br />
cleavage fissures. This is a good example of the lateral immigration<br />
of antimony ore from fissures into and along beds of shaly rocks. (C.)*<br />
At Bohmsdorf and Wolfsgalgen, near Schleiz, stibnite is found in<br />
quartz veins traversing palaeozoic schists. The subsidiary minerals<br />
are zinc-blende, plumose stibnite, pyrophyllite, and iron spar. (A.)<br />
At Mobendorf, antimony ore occurs in veins, cutting the gneiss<br />
formation, with fillings of stibnite and some berthierite, bournonite,<br />
striated kaolin, steinmannite, zincite, kermesite, stibiconite, pyrite,<br />
quartz, and brown spar. At Braunsdorf, a few kilometres off, the<br />
same ore is found intimately associated with rich silver ores. In the<br />
vicinity of Freiberg, the quartz-stibnite vein is simply the continuation<br />
of a true quartz formation. For this reason Freiesleben called<br />
it the " Mobendorf Formation ;; (A).<br />

At Magurka, according to von Cotta, the granite is traversed by<br />
many quartz veins, varying from a few centimetres to 4 m. in thickness.<br />
They carry stibnite and free gold, enclosing sometimes some of the<br />
country. The accessory minerals found in these veins are galena,<br />
zinc-blende, pyrite, copper pyrite, brown spar, and calc-spar.<br />
Ordinarily the quartz occurs along the walls of the veins, while<br />
the stibnite occupies the central part. (B.)<br />
At Pricov, near Selcan, stibnite is found, according to A. Hoffmann,<br />
in veins of hornstone, generally accompanied by kersantite dykes,<br />
cutting through the granite. At a depth of 18 m. (59 ft.) the<br />
stibnifce is decomposed to stibiconite. (A.)<br />
