location:
Coronel Manuel Rodriguez Mine, Mejillones, Antofagasta, Chile

description:
Beautiful cluster of crystallized salammoniac 13.5 x 9.5 x 5.0 cm in size. Small colorless crystals of lecontite scattered throughout. This is post mining material found in the tailing ponds about 1 mile from this mine. The blue color due to copper. Outstanding for both species, please note that these are water-soluble and over time in high humidity the lecontite may alter to white tincalconite but still should remain very attractive.
