Phofphorated antimony, Kirnuan miner. 2. p. 252. 
Found in Savoy, in the cavities of a vein of fulphuret of anti-

including filvery-white grains: with borax it gives a lead-

faid fometimes to confift of fmall reftangular 4-fided tables; 
and appears to be fulphuret of antimony combined with phof-
