Okruginite is a new mineral, approved in 2022 and to date (March 2024) reported only from the type locality.

Localities

At the type locality, the Ozernovskoe deposit, Karaginsky District, Koryak Okrug, Kamchatka Krai, Russia, okruginite has been discovered in the high-sulfidation epithermal gold deposit. It occurs as distinct selenium-rich zones in selenium-bearing mohite crystals or forms aggregates of small crystals 10–15 μm in size in quartz (MM 88.1.31-39).
