1913 Mineral. Mag. 16 375 Weibullite... This mineral, from Falun, Sweden, was described by M. Weibull in 1885 as a seleniferous variety of galenobismutite.
1980 Amer. Mineralogist 65 789 Studies of specimens from Falun, Sweden, reported to contain the two minerals weibullite and wittite have established at least three selenium-rich bismuth-lead sulphosalts of similar chemistry. A nomenclature is proposed in which two of the minerals retain the old names weibullite and wittite, while the third is given the new name nordströmite.
