Costagliola et al. (1990) wrote: "The presence of a Fe-Zn-Hg sulfide whose optical and compositional (semiquantitative SEM/EDS analysis) properties are like those of polhemusite (LEONARD et al., 1978) is especially noteworthy. Further studies are being carried out to completely describe this mineral; if confirmed, it would be the first finding of polhemusite in Italy."
