| Comments: | "Szmikite is often in contact with the granite matrix. It forms white to very pale pink, opaque globular masses, which resemble billowing cumulus clouds under the microscope, although they tend to be dull and earthy appearance. Outlines of crystal faces seen on the surfaces of the roughly spherical aggregates making up the crusts may represent an earlier more hydrated sulphate, such as jokokuite. On some specimens, aggregates of well-formed tabular monoclinic crystals up to about 50 micron across can be detected by SEM." |
