An erroneous locality whose existence was based on the reference: Livingstone, A., Jackson, B., Davidson, P. J. (1984) Grimaldiite, CrOOH, a second occurrence, from the Hiaca Mine, Colquechaca, Bolivia. Mineralogical Magazine, 48 (349). 560-562 doi:10.1180/minmag.1984.048.349.16 whose data was based on a single purchased specimen accompanied by poor locality information. The mine name should be Hiaco (rather than Hiaca), located in Pacajake canyon (rather than Colquechaca), and the selenium minerals are in reality from the Virgen de Surumi mine, facing the Hiaco mine on the other side of the deep canyon. There is no Se in the Hiaco mine itself.
