The present detailed research is focused on minerals of phosphate accumulations collected in the Huber open pit and at the 5^th level of the Huber shaft, Krásno ore district, Slavkovský les area, Czech Republic. The following minerals have been identified at the studied localities: benyacarite, beraunite, cacoxenite, chalcosiderite, crandallite, dufrénite, earlshannonite, fluellite, fluorapatite, frondelite, goyazite, isokite, kolbeckite, leucophosphite, morinite, natrodufrénite, phosphosiderite, rockbridgeite, strengite, triplite, turquoise, vivianite, wavellite, waylandite, whitmoreite and zwieselite. A brief review of evolution of the phosphate mineral associations at the two studied localities is presented.
