Ognitite is a very rare mineral with the chemical composition NiBiTe, i.e. it consists of equal parts of nickel , bismuth and tellurium .

Etymology and history

Ognitit was first found in 2019 by the Russian geologist Gennadi Schwedow together with colleagues from other countries near Ognit ( Irkutsk Oblast ) in Siberia and named after its type locality .

The type material of the mineral is in the mineralogical collection of the Museo di Storia Naturale (Florence) under the catalog no. 3292 / I and is referenced via the IMA number 2018-006a.
