MK97AL8: Zunyite crystal, a rare aluminum fluoride-sorosilicate, on matrix. The tetrahedral crystal beveled by cube faces has very well defined and smooth faces, a color between reddish and dark brown and scaly inclusions of Hematite, which makes it different from the first Zunyites from Iran that reached the collecting world in 2018.
