Showing the single result
Mindat lists 14 minerals from the site, with particular interest coming to the boleite, cumengeite, paratacamite, and pseudoboleite found.
The site is apparently ‘mined out’, with minor crystals sometimes still found on the dumps.
The ‘star’ cumengeite are considered the most desirable – many are in museums and collections worldwide.
