Item Description
An eye-catching example of this relatively uncommon copper, zinc arsenate. Small attractive, blue green aggregates of Philipsburgite sit on matrix. The Black Pine Mine is the type locality for Philipsburgite, and some of the best, most attractive and striking specimens of the species are found here. I have photographed the Philipsburgite under high magnification to better illustrate their quality.
