English: Braggite is a rare Pt-Pd-Ni sulfosalt and moncheite is a rare Pt-Pd-Te-Bi sulfosalt and are members of rare sulfosalt series. Specimens of any species are very uncommon from the obscure Stillwater Complex of Montana. This polished serpentine slab hosts both species in very rare combination. Splendent brassy braggite laths to about 3 mm are scattered on the sliced and polished serpentine matrix with silvery-bright amoeba-looking moncheite masses to about 1.0 cm. Ex. Josef Vajdak Collection. He was known as one of the top rarities dealers in such things in the second half of the 1900s.
