Item Description

Wow! A VERY RICH, colorful and impressive large linarite specimen from Blanchard. A dramatically placed 6.1 cm curved vug is filled with scintillating, translcuent, "electric-blue" linarite microcrystals. The vug sits in the scuptural matrix of fluorite, quartz, more linarite and galena sections. This famous New Mexico mine is renowned for outstanding linarite specimens and this is an unusually large and rich one with very showy presence. A MUST for the locality or species collector. Valued $1000-1500. From the Joe Lobell Collection of Oklahoma. Seldom on the market in this size, richness and quality
