Several hydrothermal siderite-quartz-sulphidic veins.

Slavikite occurs in in an "abandoned fill-mining quarry northwards of the village of Medzev" (Makovický and Streško, 1967). Slavikite was first mentioned from here by Chrt (1949).
Efflorescences of slavikite form on overhanging walls on the quarry situated on both sides of the main sideritic-sulphidic ore vein (Lucia vein) in sericitic phyllites with some amount of chlorite. The phyllite has undergone strong pyritisation especially in tectonised parts.
The assemblage of sulphate mineral efflorescences comprises fibroferrite, slavikite, pickeringite, epsomite, jarosite and gypsum.
