Striking specimen of sea-blue Salammoniac crystals decorating snow white Lecontite from a new superb find in the Coronel Manuel Rodriguez mine, Chile. The find was made in the end of 2017 in a locality just outside the Coronel Manuel Rodriguez mine. According to the current information the locality was collected out. The initial identification was made by the mineralogy department of the University of Atacama as Krohnkite for the blue minerals and Blodite for the white one. In a new, just reviled study held by Mineralanalytik the blue mineral was identified as Salammoniac with inclusion of copper ions. The Salammoniac is a rare mineral composed of ammonium chloride. The white was identified as Lecontite. The Salammoniac crystals are well shaped and translucent. They have marvelous rich sea-blue color and matt luster. The Lecontite crystals are sharp, terminated and well shaped. They are covered by white coating. New analysis identified that the white coating consists of two rare sulfates Mascagnite and Thenardite. The contrast is very strong. In excellent condition.

Amazing!
