Specimen formed by various aggregates of sheaf-shaped ushkovite crystals, with a distinctive orange color. It is a rare phosphate with the formula MgFe³⁺₂(PO₄)₂(OH)₂·₈H₂O. They are arranged on a matrix of roscherite and rockbridgeite, with white crusts of uralolite and possibly small colorless beryllonite crystals.
