In Cornwall is found this stellated and spicular variety of 

 Sulphuret of Antimony. It seems to have the fracture 

 which is attributed to it by most authors, and is likely to 

 belong, as to its crystallization, to the geometrical figure be- 

 neath. It is curiously interspersed with small rhombic 

 crystals of Carbonate of Lime. This species is sometimes 

 of a fine polished steel lustre, and sometimes beautifully 

 iridescent. It may easily be scraped with a knife. The 

 powder is grey. It is easily fusible, wholly evaporating in 

 white fumes.
