The presence of aikinite in the Aberdeen area of the Kirki mine, western Thrace, Greece

The presence of intermediate aikinites in the Aberdeen area of the Kirki mine, western Thrace, Greece, is reported. The composition of the aikinites varies between 2.6 %–8.3 % Cu, 6.1 %–19.5 % Pb and 73.3 %–54.8 % Bi. In addition, a copper-bearing galenobismuthite was also identified. It is conclude...

description The presence of intermediate aikinites in the Aberdeen area of the Kirki mine, western Thrace, Greece, is reported. The composition of the aikinites varies between 2.6 %–8.3 % Cu, 6.1 %–19.5 % Pb and 73.3 %–54.8 % Bi. In addition, a copper-bearing galenobismuthite was also identified. It is concluded that, rather than having quantized compositions, the intermediate aikinites more probably form a solid solution series between bismuthite and aikinite.
