Linarite specimens

Linarite specimens

Small specimens of Linarite, typically those with little provenance. These make good reference specimens at a budget price point.

Linarite is an interesting deep blue coloured mineral, a lead, copper hydroxy-sulphate.

Sometimes when I buy older collections, I get unlabelled or poorly labelled specimens - too good to clear in bulk, but good enough to sell at the lower end of the pricing scale.

Our current stock includes: 

• #1 - 15.2x14x13.2MM - several deep blue crystals of Linarite, on a matrix containing several other minerals.
• #2 - 17.7x14.6x12.9MM - nice specimen of linarite and an unknown yellow mineral on quartz matrix.

Linarite contains lead and should be handled with care.

I would highly recommend magnification for these specimens too - at least 10x, ideally.
