This article already existed, so i edited it and added more information. I added the Composition, Geologic occurence, Structure, Physical Properties, and the Biographic Sketch sections. I also added a list of reviewed journals to the already existed list of References which include: Cook, Robert B. (2001) Connoisseur's choice; sperrylite, Talnakh, Noril'sk District, Siberia, Russia. Rocks and Minerals, 0035-7529, Vol. 76, Issue 1

This article was prepared by Taiwo Richard Otubusin for the University of Houston Course GEOL3370 introduction to Minerology, Prof. Jonathan Snow, Instructor

The article is now more comprehensive than those for many major minerals, so I removed the request for expansion tag. JES 12/6/2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesnow (talk • contribs) 03:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
