Very attractive large crystal with inclusions, 3.5 x 2.5 x 2.5". 608 grams. Hanksite forms in arid evaporite environments, especially in playa lakes with high salinity. It's notably found in Searles Lake, California, one of the only places where it occurs in well-formed crystals. One of the few minerals that contains both sulfate and carbonate ions.
