miargyriten.

Brit.

/mʌɪˈɑːdʒᵻrʌɪt/, U.S.

/maɪˈɑrdʒəˌraɪt/

Forms: 1800s miargirite, 1800s– miargyrite.

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Miargyrit.

Etymology: < German Miargyrit (H. Rose 1829, in Ann. der Physik u. Chem. 15 470) < mi- ( < ancient Greek μείων less: see meio- comb. form) + ancient Greek ἄργυρος silver (see argyro- comb. form) + German -it -ite suffix¹, so named because the mineral contains less silver than prousite.

Mineralogy.

A monoclinic sulphide of silver and antimony, AgSbS₂, a minor ore of silver which usually occurs as thick, tabular, steel-grey to black crystals, and contains less silver than the related minerals proustite and pyrargyrite.
