A novelty for 2021. The Shinichengite (this new mineral species was initially labeled as possible Tobermorite-Clinotobermorite) forms small fibrous spheroidal coatings of an intense pink color that accompany spheroidal growths of Bultfonteinite, of a good size and of an orange-brown color, all of this on a matrix of cleavages of Calcite.
The specific spot at the locality where the find was made has already been closed, so no new discoveries can be expected in that specific place.
