Vihorlatite is an extremely rare bismuth selenium telluride known from just one area of the world - Poruba pod Vihorlatom, Michalovce County, Košice Region, Slovakia in outcrops of quartzite. Discovered in 1988, it took until 2007 for the formal description to be published! This small miniature specimen displays a rich coverage of dark grey metallic Vilhorlatite as spots (to about 2 mm across) in quartzite. Poruba pod Vihorlatom is also the Type Locality for Telluronevskite which is associated with, and looks very similar to Vihorlatite, so is probably also present in this specimen. From the superb systematic collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
