Okruginite (original) (raw)

A valid IMA mineral species

Specific Gravity:

5.126 (Calculated)

Crystal System:

Monoclinic

Name:

The mineral is to honor Dr Victor Mikhailovich Okrugin (Виктор Михайлович Округин) (b. 1945, †2022), mineralogist from the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Far East Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences (IVS FEB RAS), for his contributions to mineralogy and geology of epithermal deposits, in particular of the Au-Ag deposits in Kamchatka.

The Se analogue of mohite. Unique combination of elements (at the upload time).
