Goldichite

  
  
This specimen is very rich in crystals of coquimbite and goldichite. The crystals of coquimbite reach up to 0.65 cm in length! Both of these species are closely related with the primary difference being the addition of potassium in goldichite to the chemical formula. The Dexter# 7 mine is the type and only known locality for goldichite.
Origin: Dexter #7 Mine, San Rafael Swell, Emery County, Utah, U.S.A.
