Description

White, pale yellow excellent sprays of columnar crystals.The adranosite "balls" sitting on a pyracmonite carpet. (The pyracmonite forms smaller glassy, translucent crystals.)
Most of the crystals are a mixture of adranosite Al and Fe, but the rate of Fe hasn't reached the 50% in any of the analyses. 
In this quality I found only a few specimens.
