sodului

Sodului is a rare and unique mineral species, discovered in 1997, found in the Soddu mine, near Iglesias, Sardinia, Italy. It is a copper sulfide mineral with the chemical formula Cu2S. Sodului is notable for its distinctive crystal structure and its association with other copper minerals in the mine. The mineral is typically found in small, dark green to black crystals or in massive form. Its formation is closely linked to the hydrothermal processes that occur in the Soddu mine, where it is often found in association with other copper sulfides such as chalcocite and bornite. Sodului is of interest to mineralogists and collectors due to its rarity and the specific geological conditions under which it forms. Despite its rarity, sodului has not been extensively studied, and its exact formation mechanisms and properties remain topics of ongoing research.
