Zunyite, Al13 Si5 O20 (OH,F)18 Cl, is a sorosilicate mineral found in sedimentary rocks with abundant aluminum and in hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks. It occurs in this specimen as the massive white replacement mineral within an altered breccia. Zunyite was discovered in 1884 at the Zuni Mine in the Silverton District, San Juan County, Colorado, for which it was named. It is approx. 6 x 5 x 3 inches and weighs about 2.6 pounds. This specimen was found in the Scraper Springs Mining District in northwestern Elko County, Nevada, by a professional geologist who knew what to look for in ore specimens in the 1990s.
