Bladed crystals of rare Volkovskite. This was part of a larger mass of Volkovskite found at a section of the mine that extends out under the
Atlantic Ocean. Because this material is bad for mine machinery, this area is now avoided, and no more is expected to be recovered. Only a small number of
specimens were found, my guess is around 100 pieces.
