Atacamite : Cu2[(OH)3|Cl]

Burra Burra Mine, Burra, North Mt Lofty Ranges, Mt Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia

This has to be one of the most outstanding Azurite crystals I have ever seen from this locality. The upright crystal which is just beautiful, measures 2.3cm in length. The photo also shows the termination of the bottom crystal, which measures 3.5cm in length and shows contact points along it's length. Most Azurite crystals from Burra are not even ...

Burra Burra Mine, Burra, North Mt Lofty Ranges, Mt Lofty Ranges, South Australia, Australia

A beautiful cluster of Baryte crystals to 5mm in height perched in a vug of Malachite crystals of 1-2mm.
The transparency of the crystals makes it hard to distinguish them singularly in the photograph.
The specimen is approx 7cm in length and contains traces of Cuprite, although the main interest of the specimen is the Baryte. (Child photo ...
