I'm finding the hidden collection is sort of still hidden. In researching hydromagnesite, I've read that similar, rarer ( that's not saying much,) minerals could easily be nearby. Huntite and monohydrocalcite are two could be lurking, the environment is right. And they are white, so could I call them the " white uglies"?

In In den Dellen, like other places in the Eifel, there are very beautiful and rare species as well.

Hi Jeff. It is a volcanic rock matrix, likely other silicates or volcanic glass.
