    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferberite

    Ferberite is a black monoclinic mineral composed of iron(II) tungstate, FeW O 4. Ferberite and hübnerite often contain both divalent cations of iron and manganese, with wolframite as the intermediate species for which the solid solution series is named. [5] Ferberite occurs as granular masses and as slender prismatic crystals.

    The mineral water emerges at a steady 27°C (80°F). Analysis of the water has indicated that it has a high magnesium content and that it originated from rainwater from around 5,000 years ago. The same spring water is bottled and sold as Buxton Mineral Water. [1] [2] [3] Bronze lion spout of St Ann's Well

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efflorescence

    Gypsum (CaSO 4.2H 2 O) is a hydrate solid that, in a sufficiently dry environment, will give up its water to the gas phase and form anhydrite (CaSO 4). Copper(II) sulfate (bluestone) (CuSO 4 .5H 2 O) is a blue crystalline solid that when exposed to air, slowly loses water of crystallization from its surface to form a white layer of anhydrous ...
