Description

Dozens of vihorlatite metallic grains scattered throughout a pale host rock. The grains are submillimetric and possibly associated to telluronevskite (not analysed, although known in the current paragenesis).

Very rare, it comes from the type locality for both vihorlatite and telluronevskite.

Acquired in 2002 at the Bologna Mineral Show in Italy (old location), in my personal collection since that date.
