Linarite & Caledonite (classic California) ex Fred Meissner Coll.

Item Description

Gorgeous scintillating sprays of "electric-blue" linarite lathes with a few accenting patches of turquoise-blue caledonite microcrystals dramatically cover the miniature matrix on this exceptionally rich and colorful specimen from the famous locale. Old classic material, as this mine was in production in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Rarely available in this richness and quality. Ex Fred Meissner Collection, a very well known geologist, author and collector, who died in 2007.
