Szenicsite is one of those rare species which forms superb showy crystals at one locality, and one location only. Described in 1994 from the Jardinera No. 1 mine, Chañaral Province, Atacama Region, Chile, this new species was a revelation, with large and beautiful crystals, but this remains the only place where this species has been found in quality crystals. This thumbnail specimen is certainly not the largest crystal aggregate that you will come across, but it is remarkable in the quality of the crystals: most specimens display crystals, sometimes as large blades, but these are often tightly intergrown or have indistinct ragged edges. This specimen from the fine systematic collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021) has extremely fine crystals making it very choice indeed.
