Item Description

Gorgeous, bright, electric-blue, linarite microcrystals are richly and aesthetically clustered on the sculptural matrix along with teal-blue fluorite cubes on this showy specmen from the famous Blanchard Mine. A bit of contrasting malachite is a fine compliment. Linarite is the most sought-after mineral species from these famous deposits and this is a highly representative and pretty example with nice form. Ex Harold Urish Collection.
