Bukovskyite
Bukovskyite is a hydrated arsenate and ferric sulphate, Fe23 + (AsO4) (SO4) (OH) .9H2O. It was named in honor of Professor Antonín Bukovský, who examined it for the first time. Creates earthy yellow-green and gray-white tubers. It is formed in the heap as a decomposition product of arsenopyrite and pyrite. It is poisonous. In our country, it creates giant tubers up to 1 m in size in the medieval heaps of Kuntera and Šafara in Kaňka near Kutná Hora
