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]}
