TELLURIUM MINERALIZATION OF THE PRIOZERNOE GOLD-QUARTZ DEPOSIT (NORTHERN URALS, RUSSIA)
Primary and supergene Te minerals are identified in quartz veins of the Priozernoe deposit (Sverdlovsk oblast, Northern Urals, Russia) and studied by optical methods, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Tellurides include altaite, hessite, melonite, petzite, and s...

| Summary: | Primary and supergene Te minerals are identified in quartz veins of the Priozernoe deposit (Sverdlovsk oblast, Northern Urals, Russia) and studied by optical methods, electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Tellurides include altaite, hessite, melonite, petzite, and sylvanite. Their individual grains and intergrowths occur as small inclusions in quartz. Supergene minerals include telluroperite, northstarite, adanite, burckhardtite, kuranakhite, and schieffelinite. They replace galena, hessite and cerussite or form monomineral grains and veinlets in quartz. Northstarite, adanite, and schieffelinite are found for the first time in Russian Federation, while the findings of telluroperite and burckhardtite are second. Kuranakhite is found for the first time in the Northern Urals. The findings of supergene Te minerals in Russia are reviewed. |
