Item Description

An attractive thumbnail sized specimen of the rarely seen beautiful Lavendulans from the Alice Mary Mine in Western Australia. Beautiful greenish-blue micro crystals of this sodium calcium copper arsenate can be seen on display side of the piece. We have photographed them with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate their quality. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#7952). 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).
