The major source of Molybdenum comes from the mineral Molybdenite (MoS2)--molybdenum sulfide. The mineral is in the hexagonal system; its crystalline structure forms in tabular crystals in a 6-sided shape. Rarely is the mineral found in crystal form. More often, it is seen as finely interwoven masses or bladed, foliated (layered) ones. Molybdenite is soft, having a hardness of 1 to 1.5 on the Mohs' hardness scale. For comparison, a diamond is a 10. Molybdenite is heavy with perfect cleavage and flexible plates. The mineral has a greasy feel and is opaque with metallic luster. It is infusible and difficult to dissolve.
