Stibiconite, also formerly known as stiblite[5]: 372  or antimony ochre[6]: 118  is an antimony oxide mineral with formula: Sb3O6(OH). Its name originates from Greek

stíbi (στίβι), 'antimony' and

kónis (κόνις), 'powder', alluding to its composition and habit.[2][3][4] It is a member of the pyrochlore super group.

Discovery and occurrence

It was first described in 1862 for an occurrence in the Brandholz – Goldkronach District, Fichtel Mountains, Bavaria, Germany.[3]

It occurs as a secondary alteration product of other hydrothermal antimony minerals such as stibnite. It occurs in association with cervantite, valentinite, kermesite, native antimony and stibnite.[4]
