Aubertite Group

Rich pale sky-blue acicular crystals of magnesioaubertite are mostly covering the top of a 25 x 20 x 18 mm matrix. Minor white silky micro acicular crystals of pickeringite are in association. This is a "co-type" specimen and comes with labels from Georg Gebhard and Mineralogical Research Company. An important thumbnail for this rare species!

This tiny gypsum specimen contains even more tiny, yellowish, but crystalline svyazhinite. This ultra-rare, single-locality fluoride sulphate shares its quite unique chemistry somehow with cossaite, wilcoxite, and lannonite.
