- Acanthite was relatively abundant in what was known as the Mount Lyell Bonanza at the Mount Lyell mine, Tasmania, where it occurred with chalcocite, bornite, and tetrahedrite in ores that ran as high as 1,011 ounces of silver per ton.
- Lovering, Tweto, and Lovering noted small veinlets of tetrahedrite cutting interbanded chalcopyrite and bornite.
- Some of the best bornite specimens consist of plates of 5-mm blue-gray crystals upon which are perched large, complex chalcopyrite crystals.
- Some of the chalcopyrite is rimmed by bornite and more rarely by covellite and/or chalcocite.

- Other minerals suggested as coloring agents are malachite, tenorite, and bornite.
- Iron and copper sulfides of this region are predominately pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, bornite, and marcasite.
- When it rises through fractures in the surrounding solid rocks, these metals are precipitated, normally as the minerals chalcopyrite, bornite, and molybdenite.
