Kuznetsovite

Locality: Khaidarkan (Chaidarkan) Sb-Hg deposit, Fergana Valley, Alai (Alay) Range, Osh Oblast, Kyrgyzstan

2 mm aggregate of brownish-yellow grainy kuznetsovite, the only known mercury chloroarsenate. The mineral is photo-sensitive and thus generally stored in a special box. A white thing near upper-left corner is a pointer. Both kuznetsovite and associated yellow-orange unkown minerals are about to be analyzed. This is Mikhail Murasho specimen, delivered by Sergey Vasiliev - thanks!
