Panskyite is a new mineral, approved in 2020 and to date (April 2022) reported only from the type locality.
Localities
At the type locality, the Southern Kievey Fedorovo–Pana layered intrusion, Fedorovo-Pansky massif, Murmansk Oblast, Russia,
panskyite was discovered in the platinum group element mineralisation. It forms tiny
anhedral grains in the interstices of rock-forming silicates, often forming tiny inclusions in base-metal sulphides
millerite, chalcopyrite,
bornite and chalcocite, and also as complex
intergrowths with other platinum group minerals such as
zvyagintsevite, laflammeite,
vysotskite and thalhammerite
