Rheniite : ReS₂
	Kudriavy (Kudryavyi) volcano, Iturup Island, Kuril Islands, Sakhalinskaya Oblast', Far-Eastern Region, Russia Rheniite is the only known mineral with Rhenium as its primary metallic constituent and as such is a fascinating species.

Rheniite : ReS₂
	Kudriavy (Kudryavyi) volcano, Iturup Island, Kuril Islands, Sakhalinskaya Oblast', Far-Eastern Region, Russia Tiny, metallic flakes of rheniite on matrix. Field of view about 4 mm. The Russian mineralogist, Pavel M. Kartashov, that gave me the specimen told me that during the volcanic "rheniite-eruption" flakes of rheniite fell like snow and covered the ground. The specimen is in the micromount collection of OT. Ljostad.
