Geology and Mineral Resources
Antimony is a soft, silvery metal with the chemical symbol Sb. It is used primarily in lead-acid batteries, and in metal alloys to increase strength, resistance to corrosion, and hardness. Antimony occurs in nature as the native element, but is more typically found in a wide variety of sulfide minerals including the main ore mineral stibnite (Sb 2 S 3).
