Cover Story: Scanning electron microscopy image showing the new mineral eliopoulosite, V7S8, in association with grammatikopoulosite, tsikourasite, awaruite, nickelphosphide, and chromite, from the chromitite of Agios Stefanos, Othrys ophiolite, Greece. The arrow indicates a portion of its crystal structure, which consists of a twelve-fold superstructure of the NiAs-type subcell with V-atoms octahedrally coordinated by S atoms. On the background, a wire/stick image of the eliopoulosite structure as seen down the c-axis. View this paper
