Glaucocerinite (very rare) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

A very hard to find example of the hydrated zinc aluminum hydroxy sulfate Glaucocerinite from the famous Lavrion area in Greece. This species is only found in about 20 localities around the world. Translated from Greek, this species means sky-blue and wax-like. This is a wonderful example of the species featuring a full coverage of sky blue radiating groups of Glaucocerinite on matrix. A great piece to add to any rarities suite or a collection of Lavrion minerals. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#12724*A). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
