Antimony is a chemical element wi symbol Sb (frae Laitin: stibium) an atomic nummer 51. A lustrous gray metalloid, it is fand in naitur mainly as the sulfide mineral stibnite (Sb₂S₃). Antimony compoonds hae been kent syne auncient times an wis uised for cosmetics; metallic antimony wis kent an aa, but it wis erroneously identified as leid. It wis established tae be an element aroond the 17t century.
