Tarapacaite
Tarapacaite is the mineral form of Potassium chromate with the chemical formula K2CrO4. It forms bright yellow crystals and was discovered in 1878 in Tarapacá Province, Chile for which it is named. It is unlikely to occur anywhere except in highly arid conditions as it is easily soluble in water.
