Hendekasartorite is a very rare thallium sulfosalt mineral [3] with formula Tl2Pb48As82S172. It is one of recently approved new members of sartorite homologous series, [2] by enneasartorite and heptasartorite. [4] [5] [3] All new members come from Lengenbach quarry in Switzerland, prolific in terms of thallium sulfosalt minerals. [6] Hendekasartorite is chemically similar to edenharterite and hutchinsonite. [7] [8]
