Formula:
PdNi(Sb,Bi)Te2
Unique combination of (species-defining) elements (still somewhat similar to hexatestibiopanickelite). Co-described with UM1998-22-Te:BiFeNiPd.
As 4–10 µm grains, with pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite, violarite, sperrylite, melonite, and others.
Electron microprobe data, wt.%:
Pd 17.48
Ni 10.16
Fe 1.72
Bi 10.20
Sb 14.56
Cu 0.42
Te 45.76
total 100.30
This corresponds to Pd0.92(Ni0.97Fe0.17)Σ1.14(Sb0.67Bi0.27)Σ0.94Te2.00.
