| Comments: | The story about the clinoclase from Mindingi goes that the first specimens where found on a small dump. That dump was often used as camping ground by the collectors who came to visit the mine. One day, there was a heavy rain and a not specified collector dug a little trench around his tent to keep it dry. There he found the clinoclase. No specimens where found in the mine itself so it's a mistery were they where found in the deposit. | |||||||||||
