Formula:
~(Fe0.55Pt0.11Cu0.09Co0.05Rh0.04Ni0.02)Σ0.86S
Co-described with UM2004-38-S:CoCuFeNiPtRh.
Note: it is not sure how does this species differs from pyrrhotite, but the cation site summation way below 1 suggests it could just be a PGE-enriched variety of this species. As such, although listed by Smith & Nickel as a valid unnamed mineral, status here is set as "probably invalid".
