Localities
At the Broken Hammer Deposit, Wisner Township, Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, malyshevite occurs in the
contact aureole of an impact melt sheet, associated with lisiguangite
(HOM).
At the type locality, the Srednyaya Padma mine, Zaonezhie peninsula, Medvezhyegorsky District, Republic of Karelia,
Russia, malyshevite occurs as lead-grey rim-shaped and irregular cluster segregations around
clausthalite and quartz,
replacing padmaite, in a
roscoelite-chromceladonite
- dolomite veinlet bearing
selenide and precious metals mineralisation. Associated minerals include
sudovikovite,
sobolevskite, roscoelite,
quartz, polarite,
padmaite, moncheite,
