Description: You are bidding on a beautiful specimen of the rare mineral Linarite from Bingham, New Mexico. There is also fluorite, barite and galena. I am away this week at a rock show and will return the evening of Monday, August 10. If you have a question, go ahead and write and I will answer when I return. You will have your answer a day or two before the auction closes. Linarite is a lead copper sulfate hydroxide. It is colored a bright azure blue color. This beautiful, rare mineral is usually found as crusts of small crystals. Even with the small crystals, the color is always intense. Azurite is a mineral that can be easily confused with linarite. However, linarite does not react at all to dilute hydrochloric acid. Linarite is formed from the oxidation of lead and copper minerals. The color is impressive for the tiny sparkling crystals. It measures 1 x 1 1/8 x 3/4 inches and weighs .6 ounce. This will make a great addition to your collection. The shipping to US addresses is $1.78. (Postage 1.39, padded mailer .20, delivery confirmation .19) Thanks for looking. Winning Bid: US $20.5 - 6 bids (Year Sold: 2009 ) |
