Description

Collected by George Walker in 1953 this specimen was labelled Tetradymite.

Recent research however suggests that such specimens are most likely to be a mixture of Joseite B and Ingodite. A small patch of bright silvery metallic grey colour shows the characteristic structure of his material.

Note: According to Mindat the IMA status of Joseite-B is doubtful, more likely to be Joseite which holds the same empirical formula of Bismuth Tellurium Sulphide.
