Formula:

Ag₅Bi₁₃Se₂₂

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Type Locality:

ⓘ Princ Evžen deposit, Potůčky Deposit, Potůčky, Karlovy Vary District, Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic

The Se analogue of dantopaite.

Most probably identical with Unnamed (Se-analogue of Dantopaite) which was identified as the Se-analogue on the basis of quantitative EPMA data (which gave the empirical formula Ag_4.53Cu_0.53Bi_12.68Pb_0.59Se_19.29S_2.71, based on 22 (Se+S) atoms). It occurs as tiny (up to 8 micron), indistinct crystals in association with coffinite, uraninite and guanajuatite at the famous Clara mine, Black Forest (Kolitsch et al., 2019).
