Occurrence of sulphides on the bornite-idaite join from Vielsalm, Stavelot Massif, Belgium

peer reviewed ; Sulphides with chemical compositions between idaite and bornite have been identified from several quartz veins crosscutting Ordovician schists in Vielsalm, Belgium. Idaite is an oxidation product of bornite, and occurs in the more oxidised parts of the quartz veins. The alteration sequence bomite --> "anomalous bornite" --> idaite is observed, associated with the growth of chalcopyrite lamellae parallel to the
