Invalid as an unnamed mineral
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Formula:
(Ni,Pt)Sn
The formula fits platinian nisnite, thus the status is probably invalid. Co-described with UM1990-14-E:AuCuPt, UM1990-15-E:CuPdPt, UM1990-01-As:CuPdPt, and UM1990-40-S:CuFePdPtRh. Closely associated with shandite that resides within a Au-Cu-Ag alloy.
Found among many other PGE minerals in heavy mineral concentrates of alluvial origin.
