Description/Interesting Notes: This specimen consists of an amazing combination of rare species in chalcopyrite-pentlandite ore from Siberia!!! This specimen was published in the article "A Proton-Microprobe Study of Magmatic Sulfide Ores from the Noril'sk-Talnakh District, Siberia" from The Canadian Mineralogist Vol.30 June, 1992!!! This specimen is studied and described in very specific detail in the article!!! The specimen was analyzed and confirmed species found in this specimen include: maslovite, moncheite-merenskyite, stumpfite-insizwaite, michenerite, sobolevskite, paolovite, bismuth, tsumoite, empressite, native gold var. electrum, and altaite!!! Again, these are all confirmed species present on this specimen!!! This is truly an incredible representation of very rare species (including rare platinum and palladium bearing species, rare tellurides, and more)!!! The article describes the specimen in great detail (size, orientation, description, etc. of various veins, grains, masses, and features)!!! This is a very significant specimen indeed and specimens like this are rarely, if ever, available!!! A copy of the article will be included with the specimen as well!!! There is a lot going on with this specimen as you can see from the pics, and upon close inspection with a loupe or scope there is even more to be seen!!! There is a surprising variety of metallic hues, textures, and forms!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
