Taranakite : (K,NH4)Al3(PO4)3OH·9H2O

Chrystalls Beach, Otago, South Island, New Zealand

Coming from a rock-stack used by sea-birds, this cross-section of a rock, probably basalt, shows alteration to taranakite caused by the action of guano. The compact white layer at the top is the taranakite. Field of view: 12mm.
