PARALAURIONITE with Diaboleite and Leadhillite$5,000.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
A fantastic large miniature/small cabinet specimen of almost solid crystalline Paralaurionite and Diaboleite with a smattering of Leadhillite crystals, from Collins Vein in the Mammoth-Saint Anthony mine at Tiger, Arizona, USA. This world-famous Au-Cu-Mo-Pb mine is renowned for its rare suite of lead minerals and this specimen is essentially composed of a mass of crystalline white to pale lemon-yellow Paralaurionite (lead oxychloride) with an incredibly rich coverage of vivid azure and deep powder-blue Diaboleite (a hydrated copper lead chloride hydroxide). Both species form granular crystalline masses and micro-crystals all over the specimen. Leadhillite (lead sulphate carbonate hydroxide) forms pale greenish-blue micro-granular crystals to about 5 mm, principally on what would be termed the base of the specimen. A stunningly rich combination of some very rare lead minerals. Ex Professor Werner Paar Collection.
