These uncommon urea crystals came from the Wiligie Mia Cave, in Western Australia. Urea is derived from bat guano or animals native to this cave.

For this unique mineral it is important to focus on the Wilgie Mia Cave itself, as it is one of the oldest ochre mines in the world. Sacred to the indigenous Aboriginal Wajarri Yamtji people, this cave has been mined for both red and yellow ochre since ancient times. The varying colors of ochre are the result of geological processes acting on hematite and other related iron rich compounds. Ochre has been used in rock art throughout many regions of the Earth.
