Description

An uncommon specimen featuring a delicate phosphate association from the Elvira locality.

The tinticite occurs as a white to cream crust, with a matte to slightly powdery appearance, coating the matrix in irregular patches. Its fine texture creates a soft visual contrast with the surrounding minerals.

Associated calcioferrite is present as green to yellowish-green areas, typically in diffuse or microcrystalline masses. The combination produces a subtle but attractive contrast between white and green tones.
