Anilite from
Copper-tellurium mineralization, Salmchâteau, Vielsalm, Luxembourg, Wallonia, Belgium


Locality type:Occurrence
Classification
Species:Anilite
Formula:Cu7S4
Comments:"A sulfide one can probably identify as anilite has been detected by Hatert (1996), associated with the digenite of the Salmchâteau copper vein. The mineral occurs as greyish lamellae, showing an anisotropy in green to mauve tints under the polarized reflection microscope. The chemical analysis by electronic microprobe indicates a Cu/S ratio = 1,72, close enough to the theoretical ratio = 1,75." [Hatert et al., 2002]
Habit:lamellae
Colour:greyish
Confirmation
Validity:Confirmed
Confirmation Methods:Polarised-light microscopy
Ion Microprobe
