Galena Group

Name:

From the Spanish alabandina sulfúrea (sulfuric manganese) + the suffix, -ite, from the greek Λίθος (stone). The modern name alabandite come into use gradually. The term alabandine was first used by the French Mineralogist F. S. Beudant in 1832 in his Traite Elementaire de Mineralogie for a mineral first described earlier from Nagyág (today: Săcărâmb), Romania. The mineral was named as Schwarzerz by the local miners. Beudant derived this name (alabandine) from the Spanish alabandina sulfúrea (sulfuric manganese), a term used by del Rio (1804) for the same substance. del Rio used the term alabandina as a synonym of manganese in his binominal nomenclature (Papp 2004). It is not clear why del Rio used the term alabandicus for manganese, but Papp suggest that it may be related to the usage of both manganese minerals and lapis alabandicus in glass making.
The lapis alabandicus was a purplish black stone found near Alabanda, Asia Minor (near todays Araphisar, Turkey) mentioned by Pliny the elder (23-79) in his Naturalis Historia. Lapis alabandicus was known to be fusible and used in making glass. In some textbook it is suggested that the lapis alabandicus may be identical with the modern alabandite, but this is not confirmed.

At ambient pressure, alabandite (α-MnS) is the stable MnS polymorph from room temperature up to the melting point of 1655 °C (Staffansson, 1976; Kang, 2010).
