Chaix Et Cie, Paris. — 336 pp. In a more general form, the term stiblit was often used broadly in relation to antimony ochres in general, or only to those forms that contain molecular water (hydroxide ochres). This happened starting in the second half of the 19th century, primarily because the term ″

″ in mineralogy began to rapidly become obsolete and required an adequate replacement. As a result, the broad term ″stiblit″ was used in conditions of a lack of analytical data on the exact composition of the oxides (secondary minerals) covering
