The specimen was originally from Peter Lyckberg, a good mineralogist. It was identified as Trolleite, which is probably the light blue. However there are also other shades of blue which may be other rare phosphates such as Berlinite, Burangaite, Scorzalite and/or Lazulite. Sight ID is not possible on this stuff. The red is definitely granular Rutile. The white is likely Gatumbite.
