Lead, silver, and antimony
Published in R. F. Tylecote, The Prehistory of Metallurgy in the British Isles, 2017
Although antimony is one of the few metals that occur in the native state its occurrence in this form is extremely rare, and most of the world’s antimony used to be extracted from the minerals stibnite (Sb2S3) or jamesonite (Pb4FeSb6S14). In very early times stibnite was used as an eyepaint because of its intense blackness and as a colourant in glazes, beads, and faience, where in conjunction with lead it confers a yellow colour. Its use as a cosmetic is however much rarer than usually thought mainly owing to the fact that there were many other more common black pigments.

Jamesonite occurs as lead grey fibrous needle-like crystals. It has brittle fracture, with a Moh hardness of 2.5 and a density of 5.6 g.cm−3. The iron is present in the mineral as ferrous iron. It forms a solid solution series with benavidesite (Pb4(Mn,Fe)Sb6S14). Jamesonite, like stibnite, is a layered mineral which suggests that after grinding some hydrophobic surfaces may be exposed.
