:Locality: Coal Mine, Mány, Bicske-Zsámbéki Basin, Fejér County, Hungary Size: 2.2 × 0.9 × 0.8 cm Description: Globular agreggate of fibrous kochsandorite crystals in coal from the type locality at Màny in Hungary. The kochsándorite was found in the I/A shaft, formed due to the presence of bauxite (aluminium source) in the coal. This mine was operated from 1988 to 2004. — Photo: Joan Rosell , from rosellminerals.com · CC BY-SA 4.0
