Salammoniac with Lecontite

specimen number:
2641009

location:
Coronel Manuel Rodriguez Mine, Mejillones, Antofagasta, Chile

description:
A beautiful cluster of blue crystallized salammoniac 18.0 x 13.0 x 7.0 cm in size. Colorless gemmy crystals of lecontite to 5.0 cm present as well. In very good condition. Quite neat for the species. This is post mining material found in the tailing ponds about 1 mile from this mine. The blue color due to copper. Outstanding for both species, please note that these are water-soluble and over time in high humidity the lecontite may alter to white tincalconite but still should remain very attractive. Shipping weight: 1.58 pounds.
