The authors consider features of the triple structure of Ag-Cu-S solid solution decomposition resulted from redistribution of matter in the ores of the epithermal Au-Ag Teploye deposit due to the spatial combination of volcanogenic Au-Ag mineralization, with relatively later copper porphyry. The discovery of the mckinstryite, copper-silver sulfide, permits to consider the occurrence of copper in acanthite a non-structural impurity element, while the term "cupreous acanthite" appears insufficiently substantiated. It has been suggested that the mckinstryite-jalpaite (+ acanthite) structure was formed not by the decomposition of a solid solution or the crystallization of a normal hydrothermal solution, but but in the course of solidification of the sluggish, viscous, colloid-like substance in a metastable environment under low-temperature conditions, and was accompanied by structural rearrangement of its mineral constituents. |
