Metallic-white with steel-lustre grains of junoite in qiartz. Mineral hasn't perfect cleavage and its surfaces are conchoidal. Empirical formula of this junoite is Cu2.27Pb3.02Bi8.39(S11.71Se3.61)15.32, apparently sulphur was underestimated due to curvature of the analysed grain surface. This is the first find of junoite on the locality. Associated mineral is yellow chalcopyrite. FOV is ~12x10 mm. Collected by Ulf Nyberg. Pavel M. Kartashov determination, collection and photo.
