Erythrosiderite: K2Fe+++Cl5·(H2O)  
Salammoniac: NH4Cl

Comments: Orange-brown aggregates of erythrosiderite with sal ammoniac. Material from the 1926 eruption of the Erythrosiderite is hygroscopic and must be stored in a closed vial. The photo was made through the vial.

Eskebornite: CuFeSe2  
Jolliffeite: (Ni,Co)AsSe

Comments: Back-scattered electron image of jolliffeite in sulfurian eskebornite. Note the cracked appearance and the different brightness of eskebornite, which is a reflection of variable ratio of selenium to sulfur. (CanMin v 42, p 844).
Location: Niederschlema-Alberoda uranium deposit, in the Erzgebirge region of Germany. Scale: See Image.
