Sulfate minerals

Sulfate minerals are minerals bound with SO4. If the minerals are bound also with chrome, molybdenium or wolfram they create chromnites, molybdenites and wolframites. Those minerals are included in this group.
The creation of the sulfate minerals is bound to the volcanic and hydrothermal activity. They can also create under certain conditions in water (from water with large amounts of gyps in it to the crystals of gypsum) inland. Some minerals of this group are created after the degradation of a prime sulfate mineral.
From all minerals in this group, the chromnites are the most rare.

Sulfate minerals

Scheelite

Scheelite

Info: Scheelite can be found in whole mases, or in grains on the surface of various rocks. Often crystalizes in dipyramidal form. Scheelite can be colourless, grey-white, with colouration of pink and even brown colours. This mineral is often transparent to translucent with strong glassy to...
Wulfenite

Wulfenite

Info: Wulfenite is found in the form of various agregates, also in leaf and table crystals. Sometimes can be seen in octaedric or pseudocubic shapes. Wulfenite is often yellow, orange, sometimes grey or even colourless. It's created in lead mines, where it's usually bound with cerusite,...
Krokoite

Krokoite

Info: Krokoite often forms nail-shaped agregates or prismatic crystals. This mineral has orange to red colour. Krokoite can be found in druzes. He is often found in mines, where lead is digged in the places where lead meets chrome. How to recognize: Krokoite looses it's colour in sunlight....
Devilline

Devilline

Info: Devilline is a complex mineral, that often forms nail-shaped agregates. The colour of this mineral varies from emerald blue to blue-green. Devilline is a rare mineral, which forms often in varios copper deposits and mines. There he is often seen with azurite, malachite and...
Botryogen

Botryogen

Info: Botryogen is often found in grain or masive agregates, very rare are short, colum-like red crystals. Botryogen is created in places with dry weather where pyrite dissolves. Found: Botryogen was found in Felun (Sweden) in Chille, in Rammelsberg on Hars (Germany), and in Knoxville...
Cyanotrichite

Cyanotrichite

Info: Cyanotrichite creates very fragile crystals with blue and green colour. It's a very rare mineral, which is created often in the same locations where azurite and malachite is found. How to recognize: Cyanotrichite burns in fire with crackling and it's easly dissolved into...
Gypsum

Gypsum

Info: Gypsum is often found as colourless or white crystal. It can also obtain various alien colourations, mainly grey, yellow or brown. Various agregates of gypsum are selenite, alabaster and desert agregates known as desert roses. Gypsum is very soft mineral. How to recognize: Gypsum can...
Celestine

Celestine

Info: Celestine is often found as colourless to white crystals. In can be coloured also in brownish yellow or blue colours. Celestine is often found in various agregate forms. Celestine is often transparent with pearl to glassy luster. How to recognize: Celestine is often confused with...
Anglesite

Anglesite

Info: Anglesite crystals are similar to the crystals of baryte and celestine. As a lead mineral, the anglesite has a fine luster, from greasy to diamond like. This mineral often is colourless and transparent, but colour variation of anglesite are treasured. Anglesite is rarely found in...
Baryte

Baryte

Info: Table crystals of baryte often crystalizes in orthorombic dipyramidal structure. Baryte is often transparent, it can have white colour or different colourations, for example honey yellow or pink. The crystals of baryte are often found in clusters. Baryte also can be found in...
