Abstract
Cuprobismutite from Tunnel Extension Number Two mine, Ohio mining district, Utah, was chemically analyzed using the
electron microprobe. Its empirical formula was determined to be Cu20.8 Ag0.97 Pb0.35 Mn0.22 Bi26.7Sb0.06 Te0.05 Se0.55 S50.4. The tentative conclusion is that unsubstituted cuprobismutite has the chemical formula 6Cu2S*6Bi2S3 rather than the previously ascribed formula 6Cu2S*6Bi2S3 and that cuprobismutite is therefore not dimorphous with emplectite.
