Formula:
(Ag,Cu)12Te3S2
Crystal System:
Isometric
Co-described with chemically similar UM2004-31-S:AgAuCuTe. Compare, e.g., benleonardite which is another example of a similar composition.
Both unnamed species are found as grains, up to 13 μm in length.
Coexists with hessite and sylvanite.
Both species replace hessite, goldfieldite, petzite, and tetrahedrite.
EPMA data [wt.%], example:
Ag 66.16
Cu 6.52
Pb 0.17
Te 22.45
S 4.07
total 99.37
This corresponds to Ag20.92Cu3.39Pb0.03Te6.00S4.33.
