Yellow earthy porous masses of ultra-tiny crystals/crystallites of the listed minerals, of which the most abundant is butlerite. The unnamed species likely formed due to natural fire-caused dehydration of butlerite. These earthy aggregates occur in form of pods and a veinlet. Some parts of the veinlet are lacking particular listed species.
