A very rich specimen of the rare lead/copper sulfate hydroxide linarite, showing the typical intense blue color and formation as a layer of densely massed dendritic crystals growing shallowly across the surface of a quartz matrix. This is over an inch in each direction of brilliant blue. Accompanied by an old Burminco label - this was collected quite a long time ago.
