Hakite, ideally Cu10Hg2Sb4Se13 , is a Se-dominant member of the tetrahedrite group occurring at only a few
localities in theWorld. A new occurrence of this mineral in the Příbram uranium and base-metal ore district,
Central Bohemia, Czech Republic, is reported in this paper. Hakite was found to be locally abundant and
was identified in several samples with Se mineralization. Three chemically distinct types of hakite were
distinguished based on electron microprobe study, Hg-rich hakite (hakite sensu stricto), Zn-rich hakite and
Cd-rich hakite. Hg-hakite dominates among the samples studied.
