Freibergite Subgroup from
Bianjiadayuan Pb-Zn-Ag deposit, Linxi County, Chifeng City (Ulanhad League; Chifeng Prefecture), Inner Mongolia, China


Locality type:Deposit
Classification
Species:'Freibergite Subgroup' (not an IMA approved species)
Formula:(Ag6,[Ag6]4+)(Cu4 C22+)Sb4S12S0-1
Comments:Electron microprobe analyses by Wang et al. (2014) of all samples of the mineral they refer to as freibergite in the same paper have a fair excess of copper over silver and are thus only silver-rich tetrahedrites.
Confirmation
Validity:Erroneously Reported
