14fhjwis ((CHRYSOCOLLA)), $10 MINIMUM BID, Copper Mountain Mine, Lucin District, Pilot Range, Box Elder County, Utah, 5.5 x 5.5 x 3.5 cm, Miniature, | |
Here is a specimen of dark robin egg blue Chrysocolla. Its a locality specimen from Utah that is not usually seen. Mostly collecting at Lucin is for Wulfenite and to some extent Aurichalcite and Hemimorphite. This is the first Chrysocolla from there that I have seen. Checking on mindat I see a photo when clicking on the locality with a similar looking mineral. It says gem Kaolinite stained with copper minerals. This specimen is definitely Chrysocolla and not gem Kaolinite. ex Jim Wilson and collected by Jim Wilson around 1991. |
