Abstract
Based on the literature and original data, an attempt to characterize the isomorphism in the native tellurium — native selenium series has been made. A Se-enriched variety of native tellurium from the Ozernovskoe gold deposit (Kamchatka, Russia) is described. This very rare variety of native tellurium is widespread here. It forms nests and veinlets up to 10 cm thick and sometimes over 1 m long, clusters of needle-like to columnar crystals up to 1 cm long. Quartz, dickite, pyrite, maletoyvayamite, fahlores of the goldfieldite subgroup, fischesserite, gachingite, bohdanowiczite, and paraguanajuatite are associated with it. The Se content in the native tellurium from the Ozernovskoe deposit varies from 0.00 to 29.9 wt%; the latter value corresponds to the formula (TeSe). Using powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, the homogeneity of native tellurium samples from Ozernovskoe containing 12.5, 17.8 and 29.5 wt % Se, as well as its belonging to the isomorphous tellurium-selenium series were confirmed. Probably, a complete isomorphous series in the Se–Te system is realized in nature, however, based on recent literature data, it can be assumed that ordered compounds of this system can also be formed in nature. A new type of gold-bearing mineralization, with maletoyvayamite and gachingite as the main mineral forms of gold, has been discovered in the ores enriched with native tellurium at the Ozernovskoe deposit.
