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.
