Primary minerals of the Jáchymov ore district

Journal of the Czech Geological Society, volume 48 (2003), issue 3-4, 19 - 147

One hundred and seventeen primary mineral species are described and/or referenced. Approximately seventy primary minerals were known from the district before the present study. All known reliable data on the individual minerals from Jáchymov are presented. New and more complete X-ray powder diffraction data for argentopyrite, stembergite, and an unusual (Co,Fe)-rammelsbergite are presented. The following chapters describe some unknown minerals, erroneously quoted minerals and imperfectly identified minerals.
The present work increases the number of all identified, described and/or referenced minerals in the Jáchymov ore district to 384.
