Dyscrasite

The mineral Dyskrazit would be named from the Greek word dyskrasis which means bad mixture. Dyscrasite is a rhombic mineral, a natural alloy of antimony and silver, t = 3.5-4, h = 9.4-10. It occurred on ore veins, in the Czech Republic it was found in large crystals on uranium deposits near Příbram. I also know from Morocco and Broken Hill in Australia.
