Owensite
Owensite is a mineral discovered in the Wellgreen Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd deposit, Yukon, with the formula (Ba, Pb)6(Cu, Fe, Ni)25S27. The mineral is related to djerfisherite, but lacks the Cl and monovalent metals found in the latter. References

Djerfisherite
Djerfisherite is an alkali copper–iron sulfide mineral and a member of the djerfisherite group. The chemical composition is somewhat variable. A Russian study from 1979 on djerfisherite from the Kola Peninsula found the formula , but a study in 2007 of a samples from Siberia found no detectable sodium and states that the formula is considered the most appropriate. Both crystallographic studies have 58 atoms per unit cell. Sulfur atoms are in three nonequivalent locations, containing 12, 6, and 8 atoms per unit cell. The later study put a copper atom where the earlier study put a sodium atom. More information on the structure and other questions is available, as well as 3-D models. The Webmineral "Mineralogy Database" site gives the "chemical formula" as , apparently in error, and an "empirical formula" as . Its Type locality (geology), type locality is the Kota-Kota meteorite (Marimba meteorite), Malawi. It was first described in 1966 and named after professor Daniel Jerome Fi ...
