    ramzchile
    Yixunite is a cubic mineral with a chemical formula of Pt3In that forms polycrystalline globules up to 2 mm in size associated with damiaoite in the interior of samples. It has a hardness of 5.8, density of 18.21 g/cm3, and black streak and metallic luster. Yixunite occurs in a contact metasomatic Co-Cu-Pt vein in pyroxenite in contact with anorthosite and granite near Damiao village in China and is associated with moncheite, sperrylite, cooperite, damiaoite, cobaltian malanite, bornite, chalcopyrite, carrolite, and magnetite.
