FIG. 10. Telluride-sulphide stability diagram at 300°C in f Te2-f S2space, after Afifi et al. (1988a,b), for mineral phases relevant to the Larga system. The grey arrow indicates the trend of mineralizing conditions from the base of the system upwards. Domains marked 1 and 2 correspond to the intermediate (i.e. Horia +516 m) and uppermost levels respectively. In the latter, Au-telluride-rich levels, calaverite and native tellurium are stable. Based on prevailing major and accessory assemblages. Abbreviations: Py: pyrite, Po: pyrrhotite, Cp: chalcopyrite, Bn: bornite, Apy: arsenopyrite, Lö: löllingite, Fo: frohbergite.
