Rheniite
Rheniite is the only known mineral with Rhenium as its primary metallic constituent and as such is a fascinating species. It occurs at a volcanic vent in this remote area of Russia, and scientists have to climb down into hot crevasses to find the stuff. This is a REALLY RICH specimen with LOTS of silvery bright microcrystalline rheniite.
