On a show I once bought this nice haüyne. However there was not told where it exacly was found.

If you look closely to the image, you will see more colourless/blue small haüyne cristals at the sides of the big cristal. You can also see the distinctive "electric sparkles" at the lower right of the big cristal.

I also have a question: can haüyne be black?

Probably for some inclusions into the crystal or on the matrix give a dark blue at the black to the crystal. A example its the Vesuvio hauyne some crystals arrive to a many dark color
