Formula:
(Pd,Cu)2Te3
Co-described with UM1992-39-Te:AgNiPd.
Found in a fault zone (up to 150 m wide), within bornite-chalcopyrite-pyrite assemblage. Usually as grains, 1-20 microns in diameter, with the most common PGE species being merenskyite followed by palladoarsenide. Also UM1984-07-As: is present.
