Summary

In the absence of published experimental data on phase equilibria in the ternary system Fe-Sb-S and on the stability relations of gudmundite (FeSbS) and berthierite (FeSb2S4) , some preliminary investigations on the upper stability limit of natural gudmundite are briefly described. On heating in vacuo, As-free gudmundite broke down between 269° and 288°C, an approximate upper stability limit of 280±10°C conforming to the stability relations of the associated phases.
