Hanksite is a rare evaporite mineral from California’s Searles Lake region, formed as ancient saline lakes slowly evaporated. These specimens have hexagonal growth, exhibiting single or double terminations, and showcase a smoky glow with a slight green hue. Hanksite is delicate at approximately a 3 on the Mohs scale and is a water-soluble mineral that should be kept dry so that its integrity is not affected. These crystals glow with a soft fluorescence when under a black light - a rare quality in the mineral kingdom!
