ORIGIN : LAVRIO MINES, ATTICA, GREECE

Here is a wonderful example of well formed lustrous bright green Annabergite micro crystals from the Km-3 Mine in Lavrio now found only in private collections apart from the few specimens on the market which are highly priced (google search). Specimen is very interesting under magnification, view the cluster of bright rich green well formed crystals close up. Some of the finest Annabergite crystals in the world come from the historic mines in Lavrion, Greece, and I have not seen many in private collections. This is a rich example of this hydrous nickel arsenate that is rarely found as crystals. Although crystals are visible to the naked eye, specimen requires magnification in order to enjoy the crystal structures. Here is the opportunity to add this old timer and beautiful specimen from a classic, ancient locality to your collection. Do not miss this opportunity.

Annabergite is an arsenate mineral consisting of a hydrous nickel arsenate (Ni3(AsO4)2·8H2O). Crystals are minute and capillary and rarely met with, the mineral occurring usually as soft earthy masses and encrustations. Erythrite is isostructural with Annabergite. Isostructural means that the two minerals have the same structure but different chemistries.

MINERAL SPECIMEN COMES FROM THE FAMOUS ANCIENT LAVRIO MINES. MOST OF THESE MINES ARE 2500 YEARS OLD AND HAVE A TOTAL LENGTH OF 50 KILOMETRES AND WERE BUILT ON SIX UNDERGROUND LEVELS. THE ENTIRE MINING SITE OF LAVRIO CONSTITUTES A NATURAL MUSUEM SINCE MORE THAN 400 MINERAL SPECIES CAN BE FOUND IN THE REGION. MOST OF THESE MINERALS ARE FOUND IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. LAVRIO HAS AROUSED THE INTEREST OF A LARGE NUMBER OF MINERALOGISTS AND AMATEUR COLLECTORS OWING TO BOTH THE VARIETY AND PARTICULAR BEAUTY OF ITS MINERAL SAMPLES. THE STORY OF HOW MINING BEGAN IN LAVRIO IS LOST IN THE MISTS OF EARLY HISTORY. MANY ANCIENT WRITERS AND ORATORS MENTION LAVRIO, INCLUDING AESCHYLUS, ARISTOTLE, DEMOSTHENES, LYSIAS, ARISTOPHANES AND STRABO. ACCORDING TO ARISTOTLE, IT WAS IN 483BC, WHEN THE RICH DEPOSITS OF MARONIA (PRESENT DAY KAMAREZA) WERE DISCOVERED.
