Stunning, gemmy, excellent Hauyne crystals 2.5mm in several vugs. I believe this was from a recent find and was considered one of the best. Most Hauyne from this area is far inferior to this specimen.

Bright mustard yellow pulverulent coating on black phosphate ore rock matrix. Very little Hawleyite was actually found with the Phosphovanadylite and Sincosite. It seems to be a leached product from the phosphate rock matrix which contains "enriched" cadmium.

Haydeeite is a very rare copper-magnesium hydroxyhalide of the Atacamite group. It has been found only in Chile at three distinct localities, this deposit being the type locality. As you can see from the photos it is a very rich specimen with "Spangolite" blue crystals as singles and cluster.s It is associated with fibrous Atacamite.
