Telluride mineral information


Au-Ag-Te Minerals[1]: 2 

A telluride mineral is a mineral that has the telluride anion as a main component.

Tellurides are similar to sulfides and are grouped with them in both the Dana and Strunz mineral classification systems.[2][3]

Examples include:

  • altaite
  • calaverite
  • coloradoite
  • empressite
  • hessite
  • kostovite
  • krennerite
  • melonite
  • merenskyite
  • petzite
  • rickardite
  • stützite
  • sylvanite
  • tellurobismuthite
  • temagamite
  • tetradymite
  • vulcanite
