Item Description
Kinoite (Hydrated Calcium Copper Silicate) specimens are rare on the market, as they have been found in only a few locations, with the Christmas Mine being premier amongst them. Most were found there in the 60s, as this one almost surely was. They are always in small crystals such as this, as a sparkly druse on matrix. This is a GORGEOUS example, like blue sugar. Ex.
