Item Description

A classic specimen from the famous Rowley Mine in Arizona featuring a coverage of attractive greenish-blue Caledonite on one side and dark blue Linarite on the other side of the underlying matrix. The piece looks great under magnification as the Caledonite crystals are beautiful to view up close. A bit of an unidentified green mineral can be seen as well (possibly Brochantite or Paratacamite?). Additionally, it should be noted that while this specimen is labeled as having Linarite on it, I have never seen it in person before this specimen, so it's possibly misidentified, and the dark blue mineral could be something like Boleite or Diaboleite.
