The new mineral bytízite was found in the dump of shaft No. 16, one of the mines in the Příbram uranium and base-metal district, central Bohemia, Czech Republic. Bytízite is associated with chaméanite, příbramite, giraudite, berzelianite, umangite, eskebornite, hakite, tetrahedrite, bukovite, crookesite and uraninite in a calcite-dominant gangue. Bytízite is named after its type locality, the Bytíz deposit, near the village Bytíz. In this work the mineral's properties and crystal structure were studied and the results are presented.
