Description: The first specimens were recovered in the 1970's but due to too less specimens, the specie was not reported. The same collector ( Joseph Lhoest ) from the early kipushites, briefed J. M. Pendeville about the locality where he found them. Then in 1988, he was succesfull and found the locality and cleaned the pocket out. The specimens were found just underneath shaft 1, along with reichenbachite and pseudomalachite.
