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.

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 (talkcontribs) 03:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
