Molybdenite |
| MoS2 |
| Hexagonal |
Molybdenite forms scales and bluish-gray platy crystals, generally associated with the pegmatite contacts at both Franklin and Sterling Hill. At Franklin it was also abundant in the limestone of the east wall of the Buckwheat open cut, where the limestone contains much scapolite and edenite. Molybdenite and pyrrhotite were for the most part enclosed in the dull-green scapolite. Molybdenite was also found sparsely disseminated in the ore of the Gooseberry iron mine.
