Salzburgite has a general empirical formula of Pb<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>Bi<sub>7</sub>S<sub>12</sub> and an orthorhombic crystal structure. This mineral is very similar to paarite in that they both have nearly the same empirical formulas. They are both of the bismuthinite - aikinite series. Salzburgite was named after the region in which it was found, Salzburg, Austria.
