The exceptional specimens of borcarite and cahnite were originally reported to have come from this mine based on information from dealers (Ottens & Neumeier, 2012).
Later it has been reported that the correct locality probably is the Shijiangshan mine, Linxi Co. in the same region where a number of other world-class borate species have been found. But so far, no first-hand information about the original find has been published (Ottens & Bin, 2014).
