Item Description

A rich specimen of the rare Lead Copper Sulfate Hydroxide linarite, in its usual form as a thin, bright blue layer on matrix (sometimes seen in dendritic crystals growing flat on matrix as well). I have collected at the Blanchard and know how hard it is to find linarites with more than a bit of the mineral present, as compared to the plentiful (and better known) fluorites from there.
