Jordanite is a lead-arsenic sulfide mineral that crystallizes in metallic, often tarnished forms with a dark gray to iron-black color. It typically forms in sulfidic hydrothermal veins and can occur as flattened crystals or compact aggregates, displaying a lustrous to submetallic surface. The mineral is associated with classic sulfide districts and is prized for striking crystal habits and its historic localities.

About Jordanite
Notable specimens have come from alpine and European locales, as well as South American deposits, where well-formed crystals and rich lustre make Jordanite a sought-after addition for mineral collections. Its composition, Pb14As6S23, hints at a complex, dense structure that can produce impressive, dense masses and occasionally more acute, prismatic shapes. Collectors value Jordanite for the contrast between its dark metallic sheen and the occasional lighter inclusions or weathering rims that reveal subtle color variation.
