Identification rating of mineral
in Slovakia:
1. WELL IDENTIFIED - mostly combination at least 2 most distinguished analytical methods (X -ray diffraction and electron microprobe) 2. PARTIALLY-INDENTIFIED - mineral mostly analyzed, but for well identification is need to make another analyses 3. UNDERIDENTIFIED - mineral mostly identified only visual, often very problematic or fictive |

|
|
Notes: Existence of camerolaite in the Slovak Republic is very problematic because were not made none microprobe analysis this mineral. | |

Notes: Chlorargyrite is a very common product of weathering of silver artifacts (coins, plates, glasses, etc.). Because archeologists these objects soon after finding clean, there are not reports of its occurrence in our literature. |
