Item Description

Microcrystalline anglesite with gorgeous blue linarite and blue-green caledonite richly covers two sides of the hefty ore matrix on this extremely colorful, rich and uncommon combination piece from this well-known California locale. The linarite and caledonite are very glassy and sparkly. The matrix looks to be mostly massive anglesite. Old material, as this mine was in production in the late 1940s and early 50s. Rare on the market in this combination. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
