Description

Creamy white hemispherical crystals-aggregate, of this extremely rare mineral of Bi, Mo and Na with a close relationship with wulfenite. Its name comes from the type and unique locality, famous for its exclusive minerals of bismuth, molybdenum, thorium and REE. Of this extremely rare mineral are known only very few specimens. It has been analyzed and the Raman spectra corresponds perfectly to that of the suseinargiuite present in literature. I collected the sample in 2009 but only recently I broke the matrix finding it inside, so it was subjected to non-destructive analysis. Really uncommon specimen.
