Item Description

Scintillating, beautiful turquoise-blue Caledonite microcrystals richly cover the sculptural large sawed matrix wedge. Clusters of electric-blue Linarite lathes are a typical and fine complement to this colorful combination from this well-known extinct Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Bi-V-Mo mine, that was active in the 1940s and 50s. There is more Caledonite and Linarite on the back, as a bonus. See the 1977 Mineralogical Record California Issue! article in Vol. 8, No. 6. Ex Bob Reynolds Collection, a well-known fossil and mineral expert and former Curator of the San Bernardino County Museum. He passed away in 2020. Bob probably collected the piece. Rich and excellent large combination material from the mine.
