44350: Brochantite, Chrysocolla and Quartz
- $8 Blanchard Mine, Bingham, Hansonburg District, Socorro County, New Mexico Miniature - 3.4 x 2.8 x 2.4 cm 25 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order Massive light green chrysocolla and
sprays of darker green brochantite on a crystalline quartz
matrix. The brochantite is quite nice under magnification:
hand lens, microscope or hand lens. Normally I would
derust the quartz (I am writing a book about mineral
cleaning...) but there are no known methods to do this
which would not also destroy the copper minerals.
