MLP91CD6: Crystal aggregate of pale pink Shinichengite forming small groups of rosettes covering a rock matrix with greenish brown Andradite crystals. The specimen is partially covered by cream-colored globular aggregates of
Bulfonteinite and small transparent Imayoshiite crystals. The Shijiangshan Mine from which the specimen comes is the type locality for the new species Shinichengite.
The specimen has been analyzed and we will send a copy to the buyer. It should be noted that previously Shinichengite had been identified as Tobermorite-Clinotobermorite, without specifying an exact species, since it was already seen that it was not so obvious what species it was.
Since the vast majority of the shinichengites found are white, these pink ones were analyzed, turning out to also be Shinichengite.
