Item Description

Linarite is a Holy Grail species from the famous Blanchard Mine and it gets better, when they cover a well-formed galena cube. Scintillating, gemmy and lustrous, azure-blue and electric-blue, linarite microcrystals cover the front and one side of the galena cube on this very fine thumbnail from the Ed Bancroft Collection. The green brochantite is a nice compliment. Rare in this quality of combination.
