Scainiite is a relatively new mineral species and the first lead-antimony oxy-sulphosalt known to science. It was described from Tuscany, Italy in 1999 but subsequently, very rich specimens were discovered in 2009 at Dimitrij vein in Ľudovít adit, Dúbrava Sb deposit, Liptovský Mikuláš District, Slovakia, and that is where this rich large miniature specimen came from. The Scainiite occurs in Quartz veinstone as rich aggregates of dark grey metallic fibrous crystals. From the superb systematic collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
