My last specimen of 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.
