selenide minerals

Some selenide minerals include ferroselite and umangite.

Athabascaite is a member of the copper selenide minerals, and forms with other copper selenides.

Selenide minerals are those minerals that have the selenide anion as a main component.

The display of these distinct colors, along with its reflectivity, allows athabascaite to be easily distinguished from other copper selenide minerals.

Pure selenide minerals are rare, instead selenium tends to partially substitute for sulfide in many sulfide minerals, although the degree of substitution is only of commercial interest for copper sulfide ores.
