Abstract

The Plavitsa ore deposit is a part of the Zletovo ore field. Two ore zones were established: primary (sulphide) and secondary (oxide, gold-bearing). The colusite occurs at the primary sulphide ore zone. The results of the microprobe analyses in wt%: Cu 47.38, V 3.41, Sn 8.28, As 10.75, Sb 2.01, Fe 0.11, S 29.1. LA-ICP-MS revealed contents of Te, Se, In, Ag, and Au. The micro-hardness (H) is 280–310 kg/mm2. At λ 540 and 580 nm R is 29% and 29.6%. The colusitе associates with enargite, famatinite, luzonite, bornite, barite, tennantite, tetrahedrite and tellurides of Au and Ag.
