Hydrothermal environments

Gudmundite is a late-stage hydrothermal mineral formed in sulphide deposits. Associated minerals include pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, antimony, bismuth, kermesite, arsenopyrite and electrum (HOM). Localities

At the type locality, Gudmundstorp, Sala, Västmanland County, Sweden, gudmundite was found in a small lead-zinc occurrence, in calcite veins in skarn. Associated minerals include galena, sphalerite, pyrite and boulangerite. Arsenopyrite is present in the skarn but not in the veins (AM 13.592-593).
