Backscattered electron images and chemical X-ray maps of zoned electrum from the Ming and Boliden deposits. Electrum grains from the Ming deposit are characterized by Au-poor core, Au-rich transition, and Ag-rich rim chemical zoning textures that correspond to the BSE images. There are no significant Cu variations in electrum from d and h. (i) An example of electrum characterized by an Au-rich core and Au-depleted rim. There are no significant Fe variations in electrum from l and p.
