Formula:
Bi4Se3Te3
First Recorded Locality:
Reported as "Mineral C" by Miller (1981). Found as a few single grains, up to 4 microns in diameter; intergrown with uraninite or (primary) hematite.
Compare 'UM1981-21-Se:BiCuPb' from the same locality; other associates include and a mineral likely corresponding to skippenite, kawazulite, tellurobismutite and selenian covellite. All present in a breccia pipe cutting dacitic ignimbrites.
One of a few Bi-Te-Se phases known; these include, e.g., kawazulite, skippenite, vihorlatite.
