DEPOSIT, SKELLEFTE DISTRICT, NORTHERN SWEDEN
Sulfosalt-rich vein-ores, which form an important mineralization type of the Paleoproterozoic metavolcanic-hosted Boliden Au–Cu–As massive sulfide deposit, in the Skellefte district, in northern Sweden, have been investigated by a combination of ore microscopy, electron-microprobe analysis and balan...

Both kobellite and bournonite are unusually Se-rich, with concentrations in the range of 3.16–4.55 wt. % and 3.37–4.73 wt.%, respectively.

Pb, with concentrations in the range of 3.01–4.56 wt.%, constitutes an essential component of laitakarite. The amount of Pb incorporation is approximately constant over the entire compositional range.
