Description:Linarite is a well known lead copper sulfate, and the Bingham area is one of the classic localities for the species. Typically Linarite is found as small to microscopic azure blue crystals, either tabular or elongated, in clusters or as crusts. This piece features beautiful, lustrous, electric royal-blue, crystals of Linarite with brilliant green "bursts" of Brochantite forming a striking and colorful specimen from this well-known locality. A really cool and eye-catching miniature piece for any collector.
