“…Moëlo et al (2012) reported the crystal structure of two complex Ag-Pb sulfosalts, sterryite and parasterryite, Cu(Ag,Cu) 3 Pb 19 (Sb,As) 22 (As 2 )S 56 and Ag 4 Pb 20 (Sb,As) 24 S 58 , respectively. These two minerals, along with ciriottiite, Cu(Cu,Ag) 3 Pb 19 (Sb,As) 22 (As )S (Bindi et al 2016a), are expanded derivative of owyheeite, Ag 3 Pb 10 Sb 11 S 28 (Moëlo et al 1984;Laufek et al 2007), a rare Ag-Pb sulfosalt showing an OD nature (Makovicky and Olsen 2015). Figure 46 shows some structural features of sterryite and parasterryite.…”

Through the years, mineralogical studies have produced a tremendous amount of data on the atomic arrangement and mineral properties. Quite often, structural analysis has led to elucidate the role played by minor components, giving interesting insights into the physicochemical conditions of minerals and allowing the description of unpredictable structures that represented a body of knowledge critical for assessing their technological potentialities. Using such a rich database, containing many basic acquisitions, further steps became appropriate and possible, into the directions of more advanced knowledge frontiers. Some of these frontiers assume the name of modularity, complexity, aperiodicity, and matter organization at not conventional levels, and will be discussed in this review.

Kobellite is a Pb-Bi-Sb sulfosalt with minor amounts of (Cu, Fe) and with the crystal structure composed of two types of rods, one of which has unusual lateral extensions (‘lobes’), which depart from the usual lozenge-shaped rod cross-section in sulfosalts. Several Pb-Bi-Sb and Pb-Sb-rich sulfosalts form a small group built on similar principles. Some of them are related by homology (e.g., izoklakeite), and differ by the perpendicular dimensions of rods (length and multiplicity of atomic layers in a rod; e.g., sterryite), and especially by different combinations of archetypes and archetype portions which participate in the rods (PbS archetype and the two orientations of SnS archetype). The present article summarizes and discusses the published data on the group. Homeotypism makes the group interesting and potentially a fertile source of further structural varieties.
