Stibnite
RealgarThesulfide minerals are a class ofminerals containingsulfide (S2−) ordisulfide (S2−2) as the majoranion. Some sulfide minerals are economically important as metalores. The sulfide class also includes theselenides, thetellurides, thearsenides, theantimonides, the bismuthinides, thesulfarsenides and thesulfosalts.[1][2] Sulfide minerals areinorganic compounds.
Common or important examples include:[2]
Sulfarsenides:
