Read the landscape.
Erythrite is a hydrated cobalt arsenate that can form in oxidized portions of cobalt-bearing deposits. Documented occurrences include Aghbar and other mines within the district.
The name on the label
The district contains multiple deposits and workings. A label with a specific mine name is more informative than the district name alone; preserve both when their source is known.
One question to keep
Is the pink mineral identified, or only described by its colour?
