Allophane (*Viterbite) with Evansite (rare locality)

Item Description

A strange locality specimen labeled as Allophane var: Viterbite from the Teniente Mine in Chile. It should be noted that "Viterbite" is defined on mindat.org as a mixture of Allophane and Wavellite, but for the purposes of this listing we will leave it as Allophane. A rich coverage of turquoise blue botryoidal aggregates can be seen on nearly all sides of the specimen. The label also mentions there is Evansite on the specimen, and I can see some olive green botryoidal groups with a loupe, which is likely the Evansite.
From the worldwide mineral collection of Albert Lewis Kidwell (January 1, 1919 - August 16, 2008). Al was a well-known mineral collector and research geologist with Carter Oil Company and later Exxon Oil Company in Houston, Texas. The phosphate species Kidwellite was named in his honor in 1974.
