The alchemical symbol for antimony oxide.

The symbol is a monogram of "F" (Flores) and the symbol for Antimony.

Flores Antimonii (Flowers of Antimony) are produced by heating crude antimonous oxide ore in a vessel with a cool area at the top for the sublimed material to deposit onto, while the other materials don't, increasing its purity.
