Linarite with Galena, Anglesite, Quartz (1075)
specimen number:
9771023
location:
Sunshine #2 adit, Blanchard Mine, Bingham, New Mexico, USA
description:
A matrix of limestone with a druse of small colorless quartz crystals along one side and a single 1.5 cm (on edge) altered cube of galena. The crystal is covered with a druse of colorless anglesite or cerusite crystals and several fans of acicular linarite crystals. The galena is dark so the contrast with the linarite is less than in other specimens from here.
