_small.jpg) | Rare species from Gold Hill known for years. A extensive delay in getting the work done to get it described as a new species with the Type Locality being Gold Hill, gave the Spanish Type Locality of Barahonaite FE time to discovered the new species in Spain and get the work done quickly and get the new species Type Locality title. Gold Hill was on the list to be closed and underground sealed by the state of Utah. Before it was accepted as a new mineral, a group of flats were able to be collected prior to the mine being sealed by the state. I acquired the lot. Specimens has gone the Smithsonian, Harvard, and other museums and rare minerals dealers in US and Europe |
