RM1688   Aluminite

Close to the mellite species, aluminite specimens from this Hungarian mine are a classic of the ancient European mineralogy. There present nodules with orange ocher tones due to iron minerals, but the interior of them shows us a snowy white sugar texture. This mineral occurs in many locations, but in a few with this richness.

Size: 8.5 x 7.0 x 2.6 cm.

RM1686   Mellite and calcite

Mellita, also called xylocriptite or honeystone, is an organometallic compound. It is an aluminum salt of the melitic acid; that is, an aluminum benzene-hexacarboxylate hydrate with a chemical formula Al2C6(COO)6·16H2O. This is a rare rare secondary mineral in lignite deposits. In this sample we can observe rich facets and transparence. Nice specimen. Fluorescent under SW-UV.

Size: 5.0 x 3.8 x 3.0 cm
Main crystal: 14 x 10 mm.
Fluorescent under short wave UV
