Light blue Barahonaite Al which was a new species about 15 years ago. These were collected right before the mine was sealed by the state of Utah and right before the new species was approved. However Spain, which was more efficient in describing the new species, beat Utah, which was in no hurry to complete the process, to the approval of the new species and became the official type locality. The best specimens come from Utah. |
