*** ABERNATHYITE ***
3,5 x 3 x 2 cm
Mina el Descuido nº12004, Los Baños de Sierra Alhamilla, Pechina, Almería, Andalucía, Spain
In 2017, after many analyzes and conclusions about the formation and UV light emission spectrum, it was determined that this mineral was Metanovacekite. Well, just after a new analysis separating the mineral from the matrix and using XRD it has been completely proven that it is Abernathyite, since the refractive index of the ordinary ray in this mineral was measured. The measured index (1.59) corresponds to that of Abernathyite while that of Metanovacekite is somewhat higher (1.64). An ultra-rare specimen in Spain that crystallizes in green-yellow sheets on the very crystallized and transparent Sericolite type Gypsum matrix and is often accompanied by whiter balls of Magnesite. The fluorescence of this mineral is so intense that it can be seen in both the surface crystals of the specimen and the internal ones, practically at a molecular level. Quite a wonder of a place and rare discovery.
