Krohnkite
Absolutely stunning color makes this unusually large matrix krohnkite a beauty to look at, but its also a super rich example of an extremely rare copper species. Chuqui is located 15 km N of Calama, II Region, Chile. It is the world's largest open pit copper mine, according to MinDat. It hit its heyday by th emid-1900s and during that time produced innumerable mineral specimens which sadly went to the crusher. However, a few people there saved some pieces, and it later turned out that the mine produced a host of new species (many mislabelled in these old collections), identified only long after they were taken from the ground. This one was named after B. Kr�hnke, who first analyzed the mineral and realized that not all "chalcanthite" from this mine was that common stuff! Krohnkite is, instead, a very rare copepr sulfate. Ex Philadelphia Academy of Natural Science.
