UM1976-30-Te:BiPbS
A material that is NOT an approved mineral species

Formula:
PbBi4Te4(S,Se)3
Reported as "Mineral C".
Seems to be a Se-bearing variety of Unnamed (Pb-Bi Telluride Sulphide I).
Found in quartz veins within Archean granitic rocks of the Alekseev deposit; associates with pyrrhotite, altaite, gold, hessite, tellurobismuthite, tetradymite, and mineral A, B (UM1976-28-Te:AgBiPb), and D.
Later described also from other localities.
"Mineral A" resembles tellurobismuthite (also in terms of PXRD pattern) but has lower reflectance; also resembles (and thus is possibly identical to) synthetic PbBi4Te7 phase (corresponds to kochkarite but this has different PXRD pattern); mineral D differs from tetradymite in reflectance dispersion (PXRD somewhat fits that of aleksite).
