Description

Extremely rare bairdite (green tabular) on bluish telluroperite. The bairdite could be successfully confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and matches well with the data given in the description of this mineral. The spectrum of telluroperite was confirmed by R. Housley (housleyite) on mindat, as there is no published reference data to date. 

Analysis attached in the analysis section tab:

First two sheets show the Raman spectrum of telluroperite and the 3rd and 4th that for the green bairdite on top.
