Abstract

In the Gåsborn area, West Bergslagen, central Sweden, Fe-rich, indium-bearing (0.1–2.0wt.% In) sphalerite is replaced by Fe-poor sphalerite containing minute inclusions of chalcopyrite, roquesite and an unnamed In-Zn-rich phase. Fe-rich, In-bearing sphalerite is primary; indium occurs as a roquesite molecule in solid solution. Fe-poor sphalerite, roquesite, chalcopyrite and the unnamed In-Zn-rich phase were formed from In-bearing sphalerite by secondary processes, characterized by the so-called ‘chalcopyrite disease’.
