Schlema-Alberoda

Saxony, western Erzgebirge, Germany

UraniumU (Co-Ni-Bi-Ag)

Type
Hydrothermal uranium veins (pitchblende)

Large vein deposit of the Erzgebirge: pitchblende of the quartz-calcite assemblage at 270 ± 3 Ma and of the dolomite-pitchblende assemblage at 155 ± 3 Ma, late coffinite; coffinite 0.31 ‰ lighter than the pitchblende it overgrows, total internal variation of 0.33 ‰ (Chernyshev et al., 2014). Indicative coordinates (Bad Schlema).
