This specimen was originally labelled as 'bergenite', however, neither the identification nor the locality fit that species. I am guessing that this is actually Saleeite, which fits the said locality from a handwritten label as shown in the Provenance tab. The crystals are a nice yellow-green and thin plated to about 1mm. If you have further thought I would be happy to get it.
