Tetrahedrite - Wikipedia Tetrahedrite occurs in low to moderate temperature hydrothermal veins and in some contact metamorphic deposits It is a minor ore of copper and associated metals It was first described in 1845 for occurrences in Freiberg, Saxony, Germany
Tetrahedrite Mineral Data Comments: Bright sharp metallic tetrahedrite crystals to 1 cm in size on pinkish to colorless crystalline calcite matrix Location: Cavnic (Kapnik), Maramures, Romania
Tetrahedrite | Copper Ore, Sulfide Crystals | Britannica tetrahedrite, common sulfosalt mineral, an antimony sulfide of copper, iron, zinc, and silver [ (Cu,Fe,Zn,Ag) 12 Sb 4 S 13], that is an important ore of copper and sometimes of silver It forms gray to black metallic crystals or masses in metalliferous hydrothermal veins
Tetrahedrite (Cu, Fe, Ag, Zn)12Sb4S13 - Handbook of Mineralogy Occurrence: Typically in hydrothermal veins or contact metamorphic deposits of low to medium temperature of formation Association: Chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, bornite, acanthite, calcite, dolomite, siderite, barite, fluorite, quartz Distribution: One of the most common of the sulfosalts
Tetrahedrite — Grokipedia Tetrahedrite is a sulfosalt mineral belonging to the tetrahedrite group, characterized by the general chemical formula (Cu,Fe)₁₂Sb₄S₁₃, where copper is the dominant cation and antimony serves as the key semimetal component [1]
Tetrahedrite - National Gem Lab Tetrahedrite forms a solid solution series with the rather rare mineral Tennantite (Copper Arsenic Sulfide) The two share the same crystal structure but they differ in the percentage of arsenic versus antimony Antimony rich specimens are Tetrahedrite while arsenic rich specimens are Tennantite
