In the Goldfield camp the ores are closely associated with alunite in such a manner as to suggest a common origin. |
Those who went had five stops on the trip and collected celestine, ulexite, malachite, duftite, alunite, rosasite, barite, cerussite, smithsonite, and wulfenite. |
Alunite is a potassium-aluminum sulphate, which differs from sericite in that sulphur takes the place of silicon. |
One of the interesting features of this occurrence is the abundance of alunite. |
Rock sample 2074 taken from Gossan Ridge contains abundant alunite, tremolite, tourmaline, goethite, and quartz alteration of amphibole bearing-alkali rhyolite. |
Of other natural mineral sources, alunite is the most important. |
