Salzburgite has a general empirical formula of Pb2Cu2Bi7S12 and an orthorhombic crystal structure.[3] This mineral is very similar to paarite in that they both have nearly the same empirical formulas.[4] They are both of the bismuthinite - aikinite series. Salzburgite was named after the region in which it was found, Salzburg, Austria.[3]
