Item Description
The Blanchard Mine is famous for its fluorites, but one of the biggest prizes to collectors are the hard to find specimens of bright blue Linarite crystals! Linarite is a rare, and beautiful, lead copper sulfate hydroxide. Typically, as here, linarite forms in thin divergent sprays (or sometimes dendritic, flattened crystals) on the surface of Quartz, or on Galena pseudomorphed on its surface to Cerussite or Anglesite. This is an attractive spray on the surface of an Anglesite coated/altered Galena crystal.
