Cumengeite

An incredible sharp Cumengeite of superior quality from the famous Amelia Mine of Baja California, Mexico from the 1970s finds here after Bill Larson and Ed Swoboda rediscovered the 1890's-era locality. It is a sharp, nearly complete floater with the only point of attachment on the bottom where it is mounted on a thin acrylic pedestal showing off five complete points, of the six possible, making it almost look like naval mine. This geometric group is a lustrous, rich indigo-blue measuring 1.2 cm across at the widest. Cumengeite is an extremely rare hydrated lead-copper chloride hydroxide species and this is from the type locality, as well as the best locality in the world for the species. This specimen has 5 sharp points, all sides and the top, and sits perched on the bottom stub. It is complete all around and unusually lustrous and perfect!
