Pyrite, The crystal structure of barikaite contains 8 cation sites and 10 sphalerite, galena, tetrahedrite-tennantite, and stibnite were anion sites. Four of the cation sites have mixed occupancies: the deposited during the synvolcanogenic hydrothermal activity of split sites As2-Sb2, As3-Sb3, Ag5-As5, and the site Me6 with Cretaceous age. Fractures host veinlets with Ag-As-Sb-Pb-rich three cations involved. Two sites, Pb1 and Pb2, have tricapped sulfosalts: tetrahedrite-tennantite, stephanite, pyrargyrite, trech- trigonal prismatic coordination and alternate along a.

Barikaite is always of alternating cations, As1-(As,Sb)2, Sb4-(As,Sb)3, (As,Ag)5- found in association with guettardite in quartz veins hosting (Pb,Sb)6, which together form trapezoidally configured single irregular thin veinlets and nests of sulfosalts in a mass of quartz (013) layers.
