ⓘ 'Beegerite' ?
Formula: Pb6Bi2S9
Description: The authors report galenobismutite (辉铅铋矿) in 2010, but beegerite (辉铋铅矿) in 2011. The Chinese names are very similar, suggesting a confusion of beegerite with galenobismutite, but it remains unclear which mineral was meant because analytical data are not provided in either paper.
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Canfieldite
Formula: Ag8SnS6
