Short summary
Argentotennantite-(Fe), ideally Ag6(Cu4Fe2)As4S13, is a new member of the tetrahedrite group found in the San Genaro mine, Castrovirreyna Province, Huancavelica, Peru. It occurs as anhedral grains up to 100 μm in size, or, more commonly, it forms micrometer-sized rims around crystals of argentotetrahedrite-(Zn) or replaces the latter around cavities and fissures, along with Ag-rich tennantite-(Fe). It is cubic, I3m, with a = 10.4365(5) Å, V = 1136.75(17) Å3.
