Just for clarification, the Cigana Mine was previously known as the Jocao Mine. I don't know the details of this, but it is the same location known for the one time find of hureaulite with rockbridgeite and reddingite about 15 years ago. Further research concluded that the 'reddingite' was actually a new mineral. The rare phosphate was approved by IMA in 2013 and named correianevesite.

This is a very good small cabinet specimen featuring an exposed vug completely lined with hundreds of beautiful crystals. Hureaulite crystals and correianevesite line the vug on rockbridgeite and pegmatite matrix. Some of the crystals are partially included with the rockbridgeite.
