After Dr. Jaume Almera, of Barcelona, Spain.
A mixture of carnallite and halite. Originally described from Súria, Catalonia, Spain.
Spencer, L.J. (1925): "The formula KCl.NaCl.MgCl2.H2O is deduced from an analysis of a reddish, semitransparent, crystalline, granular aggregate from the salt deposits at Suria, prov. Barcelona. The crystalline form could not be determined, and the mineral is given doubtfully as a new species allied to carnallite."
