Colourless to white crytalline aggregates of the very rare though chemically not very unusual mineral caminite; the mineral also seems to cover some sulphide-like species. I'm not quite sure if the colourless crystal here is caminite, or if this is another species just covered by tiny white caminite aggregates.
Granular colourless nepskoite in a sealed glass tube. Purchased in 2019.
