A variety of Tennantite

A Bi-rich variety of Tennantite.

Originally described from and named for the Anniviers valley (Val d'Anniviers), Wallis, Switzerland. This description, however, was based on a wrong chemical analysis. The name has also been applied to Bi-rich tetrahedrite from various localities in Argentina (6.3 to 9.2 wt% in La Mejicana) (Brodtkorb, 2002).
