open-in-new
<h2 id="discovery-and-occurrence">Discovery and occurrence</h2> <p>Xilingolite was first described in 1982 for an occurrence in an iron-rich <a href="/facts/Skarn/CAPVrImS">skarn</a> deposit in the Chaobuleng district of the Xilingoa League, <a href="/facts/Inner_Mongolia_Autonomous_Region/6nlXuwM9">Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region</a>, China. Its name is derived from the locality in which it was originally found. Xilingolite is also known to occur in various localities in <a href="/facts/Valais/q0A9bsP5">Valais</a>, Switzerland.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> At the <a href="/facts/Type_locality_(geology)/ky6QjASt">type locality</a> it occurs associated with <a href="/facts/Magnetite/SVxoGUs2">magnetite</a>, <a href="/facts/Sphalerite/5NumvnzR">sphalerite</a>, <a href="/facts/Pyrrhotite/gTgn4Mmf">pyrrhotite</a>, <a href="/facts/Pyrite/41CYREyr">pyrite</a>, <a href="/facts/Arsenopyrite/xnb3E9yK">arsenopyrite</a>, <a href="/facts/Chalcopyrite/MXBDffGw">chalcopyrite</a>, <a href="/facts/Digenite/1qNqTELH">digenite</a>, <a href="/facts/Bornite/LlzeuLy1">bornite</a>, <a href="/facts/Molybdenite/jatlEkxR">molybdenite</a>, <a href="/facts/Galena/eSaK62FA">galena</a>, native <a href="/facts/Bismuth/75FLjkoX">bismuth</a> and <a href="/facts/Bismuthinite/mE6cB8UE">bismuthinite</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Berlepsch, P.B., Armbruster, T.A., Makovicky, E.M., Hejny, C.H., Topa, D.T., and Graeser, S.G.
