General Notes
Dzhalindite is reported as occurring at Tsumeb in the Russian literature (Kiseleva, et al. 2008; citing Yakhontova and Zvereva 2000).
A second report of dzhalindite (in association with jeanbandyite) was made by Joy Désor in April 2020, based on analysis by EDS and Raman (www.mindat.org/locentry-931521.html; accessed April 2020). Désor observed minute grains of dzhalindite on the surfaces of jeanbandyite crystals on a matrix of chalcocite and germanite rich sulphide ore.
