 | "A very showy and excellent Blanchard Mine combination thumbnail of dark green spangolite with blue-green brochantite needles and powder-blue, botryoidal chrysocolla. This piece comes from the Sunshine #6 Adit.
pangolite is a beautiful mineral. It has a blue green color that is usually quite attractive. Its aggregate crystal clusters of tabular well formed crystals are very interesting and spangolite even forms small twinned crystals that have a look similar to the head of a double bladed hatchet. Brochantite is a popular mineral for collectors and in some places it has been an important ore of copper. It typically forms acicular or fibrous crystals aggregated into randomly organized coatings and tufts. Its green color is usually a deep and attractive shade. It is formed from the oxidation of copper ore minerals along with other oxidation zone minerals. " Location: Sunshine #6 Adit, Blanchard Mine, Bingham, Socorro Co., New Mexico
