Item Description
Sparkly, bright, royal-blue, linarite microcrystals richly and attractively line a well-placed, sculptural vug in glassy, barite matrix on this showy and excellent specimen from the famous Blanchard Mine. The nifty, 2.1 cm, vug on the side has a striking, partial quartz overcoating. Classic, striking and beautiful combination material. Older material from the Dennis Mullane Collection dating to the 1950s to early 70s.
