Abstract

Results of quantitative optical measurements and investigations of colusite chemical composition by electron microanalysis (EPMA-EDS), carried out on minerals from the colusite group as arsenosulvanite. colusite with low and high tin-content and tungsten-germanite, that appear as ore constituents in the Bor copper deposit are presented. The general formula of colusite

Cu24+XV2(As,Sb)6-X(Sn, Ge)XS32

is applicable with acceptable variations. The optical properties are concordant with the same characteristics of corresponding minerals, except in the case of tungsten-germanite.
