Banded massive sulfide silver-lead-zinc ore from the Sullivan Mine. Very dark gray = argentiferous galena (Pb,Ag)S. Dark grayish brown bands = sphalerite (ZnS). Dull brassy wisps = pyrrhotite (Fe1-xS). Specimen is about 2.3 cm (1 inch) wide.

Closeup photo of banded massive sulfide (silver-lead-zinc ore) from the Sullivan mine. Field of view is about 2 cm across. Silvery-gray = argentiferous galena (Pb,Ag)S. Very dark bands = sphalerite (ZnS). The folded and contorted bedding is from soft-sediment slumping.
Sedimentary exhalative deposits

Sedimentary exhalative deposits are zinc-lead deposits originally interpreted to have been formed by discharge of metal-bearing basinal fluids onto the seafloor resulting in the precipitation of mainl
Sullivan Mine
…is a now-closed conventional–mechanized underground mine located in Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada. The ore body is a complex, sediment-hosted, sedimentary exhalative deposit consisting primarily of zinc, lead, and iron sulphides. Lead, zinc, silver and tin were the economic metals produced. The deposit lies within the lower…
