The best kinoites came out for a short time in the 70s from this Arizona mine, and specimens show up only rarely on the market. This is a big, very rich one - with the kinoite crystals intermixed with little apophyllites, a common combination from this locality. The kinoites take the typical form of a druse of microcrystals - they are never large. the white crystals are apophyllite, making for nice contrast. these are much prettier in person due to the amazing sparke and lively blue color that is hard to convey. 13.0 x 9.3 x 6.2cm
