Item Description

Linarite is a well-known lead copper sulfate mineral, with one of the most gorgeous blue colors in the mineral world. The famous specimens from the renowned Blanchard Mine in Bingham, New Mexico are some of the best examples of the species from the Western Hemisphere. This small cabinet specimen is a classic example of this famous material featuring a rich coverage of beautiful, lustrous, intense royal-blue crystals of Linarite which are overgrowing Quartz matrix. Many of the crystals are contacted when you look up close, but I can clearly see defined, lustrous crystal faces, and we've done our best to show off the quality in the micro photos. Classic material, and certainly distinctive, as these pieces are instantly recognizable.
From the collection of Colin Manlove.
