Sulitjelma Copper Mines, Sulitjelma, Fauske, Nordland, Norway (original) (raw)

Description: Grains to 3 mm usually at grain borders between galena and chalcopyrite has originally been described as Wolfsbergite by Ramdohr (1938). Cook (1996) however was not able to find chalcostibite in any of the original samples it was described from, and he concludes that it is probably a misidentified meneghinite.
