- Hydrothermal stibnite and Sb sulfosalt veins
Antimony deposit near the village of Dúbrava. Its massive stibnite, remelted in a silica ampoule (650 °C), provided the in-house SC (slowly cooled) and Q (quenched) standards of Kaufmann et al. (2021): -0.189 ± 0.031 and -0.191 ± 0.038 ‰ relative to NIST SRM 3102a, with no fractionation on melting. Senarmontite (+0.15 to +0.22 ‰), chalcostibite (-0.26 to -0.14 ‰) and zinkenite (-0.37 ‰) studied on large grains. Coordinates not published.
