Linarite ps. Galena
As recorded:
Blanchard Mine, Hansonburg District, Socorro County, New Mexico, USA
55mm x 33mm x 27mm
A specimen representing a classic pseudomorphosis from the Blanchard Mine: primary galena crystals begin alteration to anglesite and then cerussite; linarite then perimorphs the galena crystals, likely drawing the lead content from the galena alteration. The pseudomorph sits alongside associated fluorite.
