[4] It is a dark grey metallic mineral which forms acicular prismatic monoclinic crystals.

Jamesonite generally has a very large number of synonyms, as well as regional and trivial names, which is unusual even for such noticeable minerals from a practical point of view.

In addition, jamesonite is also known by its English names: warrenite, wolfsbergite, plumite, rosellan, rosenite, sakharovaite, bleiantimonit, antimonial radiant glance, falkmanite...

In the old German mineralogical literature the following names for jamesonite were also found: lumpenerz, stahlantimonglanz, spiessglasfedererz, chalybinglanz, zundererz.

[7] Moreover, the term “axotomous antimony glance” until the beginning of the 19th century was considered scientific in the mineralogical environment and was predominant.
