Molybdenite

Molybdenite is a mineral which is similar to graphite in appearance, it has a metallic lustre which can dull over time. It is silver in colour and notably soft and malleable, it forms usually where high temperature hydrothermal ore deposits are found often with pyrite, chalcopyrite, quartz, anhydrite and fluorite. Today, this mineral has is the main ore for molybdenum.
