A prospect, or even a "mine"
In the general geological "direction" of La Marina.
Looking for emeralds... some low quality euclase and fluorapaties found... and in near the entrance some decent allophane.
The allophane occurs in small spherules, typical of Colombian finds, the ones found were a faintly blue, mostly whitish, though in the vein I saw, there were also other colours present, though I don't know if they were also the same mineral or just a different colouration.
Specimen have been analyzed by CDTEC in Bogota of very similar material, but it didn't come with a definite location.
