A specimen offered for auction by Joy Désor in December 2022 included "…zincobriartite [sic.] and kesterite with a rim of velikite in tennantite-Zn and chalcocite" (| e-Rocks Mineral Auctions; accessed December 2022). Identification was by SEM-EDS.
There is no record of velikite in the peer-reviewed literature and questionable status is retained pending confirmation.
