| Species: | Thalcusite |
| Formula: | Tl2Cu3FeS4 |
| Comments: | Blaß et al. (2021, p. 25) has 2 photos. Very small (to 0.15 mm), tabular, metallic opaque, grey to golden yellow, frequently with iridescence colors. On natrolite, associated (and sometimes covered) with fluorite, and with tuperssuatsiaite. Analysis (most likely by SEM-EDS but not stated in the article) showed copper (Cu) and thallium (Tl).
