Localities
The type locality is the Alsó-Rózsa adit, Nagybörzsöny, Szob District, Pest County, Hungary. Here kanatzidisite
occurs as grains up to about 20 μm in size in stockwork in a propylitised (the result of low-pressure and low-medium
temperature alteration around many hydrothermal orebodies) dacite
breccia pipe, associated with
quartz and arsenopyrite
(Mindat).
