This article is about an older version of DF.

Tetrahedrite is an incredibly common ore of both copper and silver. Smelting tetrahedrite will always produce 4 copper bars and has a 20% chance of producing an additional single silver bar.

Tetrahedrite can no longer be used in reactions requiring a silver ore at all. For this reason, it can no longer be used to produce billon (without first smelting silver out of it).

When alloying Tetrahedrite into other metals as copper, it's best to smelt it down into bars and work with them, in order to get some silver out of it, than to smelt it directly from an ore into an alloy, unless you're direly short on fuel.
