Item Description

Glorious, glassy, vivid electric royal-blue linarite crystals, to about 5 mm, in a 3.2 cm pod fill a curved vug lined by quartz crystals in the sculptural brecciated rhyolite miniature matrix on this excellent two-sided specimen from the famous Grand Reef Mine of Arizona. Linarite, a Pb-Cu-sulfate, is the prized species from this extinct Pb-Cu-Ag-Zn-Au-Mo-V-Baryte-Fluorspar-Silica mine. Specimens were collected from the late 1960s into the late 1970s. See the 1980 Mineralogical Recored article in the Arizona-II Special Issue, Vol. 11, No. 4. Ex De Natura (Les Presmyk) dealer stock. Valued by Les at $500. A very colorful and choice example from the locale.
