Blanchard Mine (Portalas-Blanchard Mine), Bingham, Hansonburg District, Socorro Co., New Mexico, USA

This very aesthetic specimen is a cube of galena with the surface altered to anglesite. On this surface radiating groups of linarite crystals have grown. Both the anglesite and linarite are very lustrous. The specimen glitters blue and white when you roll it in the light. The specimen also has a minor association of fluorite.

Blanchard Mine (Portalas-Blanchard Mine), Bingham, Hansonburg District, Socorro Co., New Mexico, USA

An aesthetically shaped and striking thumbnail of sparkly, royal-blue linarite micro crystals nearly covering quartz matrix from the famous Blanchard Claims at Bingham, New Mexico. Linarite is the most sought-after mineral from these famous deposits and this is a good one. 2.3 x 1.7 x 1.6 cm
