Paragenetic associations and replacement textures. (a) Framboidal pyrite (Py), chalcopyrite (Cpy), and rutile (Rt). (b) Micrite (Mic) replaced by chalcopyrite (Cpy). (c) Potassium feldspar (FK) inclusion within chalcocite (Cc). (d) Pyrite (Py) replaced by chalcocite, which is in turn transformed into lamellar covellite (Cv). (e) Relicts of pyrite within chalcocite. (f) Chalcocite (Cc) replacing chalcopyrite and covellite replacing lamellar Cc. (g) Replacement of pyrite (py) by chalcocite (Cc). (h) Myrmekitic association of chalcocite (Cc) and bornite (Bn).
