Summary

Description
English: Exceptionally well crystallized specimen of the very rare copper iodide marshite(CuI) from this already famous Russian deposit: Rubtsovskoe Deposit, Altaiskii Krai, Western Siberia, Russian Federation. Marshite occurs as complex beige crystals in a contrasting brown matrix.

For an excellent review on the locality see the Mineralogical Record Vol.45, nº4, July-August 2014 article, where it tells that the marshite occurrence inside the mine was only 6 m long ! (p.409).

In addition, the Munich Show report in the Mineralogical Record (Vol.46, num 1, 2015, p.168) tells that "all mining of ore has been ceased, this great locality has reached the end of the line". For this reason, future discoveries of marshite is probably unlikely
