These samples were found in 1999 and noted in 2012 in a paper in The Mineralogical Record, and are considered as the best crystallized worldwide and they were recovered in a single cavity that produced very few pieces. This specimen has been photographed and published as a reference for the Stokesite species in the magazine ‘Lapis‘ number 07-08/2020, page 15
