Description

A lot of yellow-brownish balls of acicular and culumnar crystals on matrix. This is the 11 th. sulfite mineral worldwide, and this is the first confirmed ammonium sulfite mineral.
I've found the pieces in 2009 in one single occasion, and in a small quantity. The mineral hasn't been found since then.

Very rich specimen!
