Name(s) in local language(s):
Cova del Pas de Vallgornera, Llucmajor (Lluchmayor), Mallorca, Illes Balears (Islas Baleares), España
Cave in the Upper Miocene calcarenites (Marines de Migjorn i de Llevant unit). It is the most significant karst feature of Mallorca. Its artificial entrance opens on the southern coast of the island and gives access to an extensive 2-D spongework maze and fracture-controlled angular passages, currently exceeding 74 km of development. The major areas of the cave are known as Sector Antic, Noves Extensions, Sector F, Sector del Clypeaster, Sector Tragus, Sector Nord, and Galeria Gell. It is believed that a surface entrance to the cave collapsed some 2.4 My ago.
The mineralogy of speleothems (crusts, nodules, crystals, earthy masses) associated with hypogene features in the seaward upper maze of Sector F is characterized by the presence of aragonite, ankerite, huntite, clay minerals, and quartz. In the Tragus and Nord sectors, however, the dominant mineral is dolomite, along with aragonite, celestine, huntite, clay minerals, and quartz. Calcite is by far the most ubiquitous mineral throughout the cave.

| ⓘ Formula: K(MgCr◻)(Si4O10)(OH)2 Description: Chromceladonite was "identified" by PXRD; although the authors note that some samples were further studied by EDS, it appears this sample was not included (but it's impossible to know... no analytical data are included in the paper).
While it's possible a Mg-rich, Al-rich, or Fe-rich celadonite group mineral could be present (and these would likely have similar XRD patterns to chromceladonite), the locality is a cave hosted in an upper Miocene reef limestone, and so there is no compelling justification for any Cr mineralization. No other Cr minerals are reported.
Other minerals included in this paper (and the mineral list) are also likely erroneously reported (e.g. jacobsite, wyllieite, qingheiite), but chromceladonite certainly stands out.
