LINARITE, CERUSSITE SPECIMEN

Linarite is not a common mineral, it is a somewhat rare crystalline mineral that is known among mineral collectors for its unusually intense, pure blue color. Linarite was first described in 1822 by Henry James Brooke, who named the mineral Linares in Spain after its type locality.

ORIGIN : KING ARTHUR MINE, KIRKI, EVROS, THRACE, GREECE
King Arthur mine is a small-scale mine which was operated in the 30’s by an English mining company. King Arthur mine operated from 1936 to 1940 and after closing it was forgotten and "lost" in the forested hills.

Here is a nice example for the locality of electric blue micro Linarite, some covering Cerussite crystals crystals on matrix. Specimen is interesting under magnification, view the crystals close up. Although crystals are obvious to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification in order to enjoy the range of interesting structures and formations. Linarite from this locality is considered to be very rare because not only hardly any of this material is available on the market (google search) but also because the small mine is hard to find “lost” in the heavily forested hills. With a partly collapsed entrance and the main tunnel full of water, mining activity is extremely rare. Will be a delightful addition to any mineral or rock collection. Highest bidder will not be disappointed. Do not miss this opportunity.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
