Caledonite : Cu₂Pb₅[(OH)₆\|CO₃\|(SO₄)₃]
	Mammoth-Saint Anthony Mine (Mammoth-St Anthony Mine; Mammoth Mine; St. Anthony Mine), St. Anthony deposit, Tiger, Mammoth District, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA The color for caledonite in this photograph seems pale when compared to the real thing. It is most difficult to represent the impact of the vivid saturation of fine caledonite crystals along with their unusually high index of refraction and vitreous clarity. In this specimen the association with strongly colored blue linarite adds additional ...

Caledonite : Cu₂Pb₅[(OH)₆\|CO₃\|(SO₄)₃]
	Mammoth-Saint Anthony Mine (Mammoth-St Anthony Mine; Mammoth Mine; St. Anthony Mine), St. Anthony deposit, Tiger, Mammoth District, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA In front lighting caledonite is quite turquoise in hue. As crystal planes turn toward the shadows the hue shifts towards ultramarine, here partially due to the presence of linarite. The actual crystals are, however, much more intensely colored than what is revealed in this photograph. Here a 1.0 mm crystal is host to a swarm of minute crystals ...

Caledonite : Cu₂Pb₅[(OH)₆\|CO₃\|(SO₄)₃]
	Mammoth-Saint Anthony Mine (Mammoth-St Anthony Mine; Mammoth Mine; St. Anthony Mine), St. Anthony deposit, Tiger, Mammoth District, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA Extremely rich specimen of vibrant blue Caledonite and lustrous Boleite from a locality operated periodically between 1881 and 1953 for base metals and gold, which also produced outstanding specimens. The Caledonite varies from massive to well formed pyramidal crystals (2-3mm) which rest upon a ????? matrix partially coated with sparkling ...
