Description

Andymcdonaldite is an extremely rare iron tellurate
brown in color. This sample consists of numerous groups of fibrous, brown aggregates with low crystallinity, speckled
with gold grains. According to Borja Sainz de Baranda in the publication "Mineralogy of the '340' and '450' veins of Rodalquilar," PARAGÉNESIS (2023-2), vol. 4, no. 2; November 2023, it could be a pseudomorph derived from rodalquilarite.
The sample is rich in rodalquilarite and gold.
Rodalquilar would be the second known locality in the world for this extremely rare mineral.
