The ore mineralization at El Dragόn, Province of Antonio Quijarro, in the Andes of Bolivia, is the most spectacular occurrence of Se-bearing minerals on Earth known today. Although volumetrically very minor, a total of 34 selenides and selenium oxysalts have been detected to date.
It is the type locality of 12 new selenium mineral species.
Small hydrothermal veins (to 4 cm thick) cutting Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. The origin of the Se-veins was accomplished by multiple injections of highly oxidized, metal-rich fluids into faults at the interface between black shale and siltstone. Selenides dominate over sulfides. The total production of ore was only a few hundred kilograms.
