Abstract

Planerite, aheylite and faustite are minerals of the turquoise group. They were found in samples from the Chala deposit, Spahievo Ore Field. The samples consist of a small crystalline mass of the investigated mineral phases among quartz. Single spherulites up to 2 mm in size and aggregates of spherulites with a yellowish-greenish color are observed in small cavities. Transparent, colorless wavellite crystals and aggregates are crystallized on spherulites. For the first time in Bulgaria, the presence of aheylite was established.
