Item Description

The famous Majuba Hill Mine is notably well-known for secondary copper minerals like Clinoclase, an uncommon copper arsenate. The beautiful specimen is covered by scintillating deep blue colored, sparkly Clinoclase crystals associated with blue-green Cornwallite on matrix. A colorful and attractive combination, where the colors simply grab your eye. We've photographed the crystals with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality. Clinoclase from the USA is far less known than the specimens from Cornwall, England and it's not common to find great pieces like this available. Valued $2,000.
From the collection of Colin Manlove.
