A cluster of light tan, translucent to
opaque gypsum crystals. Whitish fluorescence under both
longwave and shortwave UV. According to Mindat the
locality is notable because it is the "largest salt flat
in the world, over 10,000 square kilometers of hard salt
(mostly halite), completely flat." An obscure locality for
the gypsum, evaporite or Bolivia collector! Great
condition.
