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 are expected to be recovered. Only a small number of specimens were found.
