Item Description
A cool micro specimen from the Snowstorm Mine, Nevada featuring attractive olive-colored "sprays" of the rare copper zinc phosphate, Zincolibethenite, associated with beautiful bright blue to grey-blue colored botryoidal aggregates of Fluorapatite var: Carbonate-rich Fluorapatite on matrix. There is a small 5 mm group on the piece that features both species together. We've photographed the specimen under high magnification to show the quality and beauty of the little crystals. This is the ONLY specimen of Zincolibethenite that we've ever had to offer from this locality, and it's likely that you won't find another anywhere else on the market, so don't miss out.
From the collection of John Dagenais.
