Abstract

Tellurantimony, Sb2Te3 has been recorded for the first Lime in Europe. It occurs in the epithermal precious metal deposits of western Romania: Nagyag (now Sacaramb), Stanija, and Magura-Hondal. The optical properties, chemical composition, and mineral associations of the tellurantimony are described. Significant contents of Pb, Au, Ag, and As have been noted, and these seem to be related to the specific occurrence and association. The tellurantimony-bearing assemblages probably formed under conditions of highfTe2 and mean to lowfS2.
