Salammoniac

From a unique find in 2016 near an abandoned copper mine, was a lake that had formed with dissolution of tailings. Salammoniac is an evaporate mineral, so conditions had to be just right for them to be stable. They are a rich robins egg blue and have been tested. They were stabilized after collection with a sealant.
