Pyromorphite & Linarite

Classic Locality

Description Tabs

Description
Locality: 
Adami Mine, Plaka, Lavrion District, Attiki Prefecture, Greece
Size Range: 
Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
5.3 × 4.2 × 2.5 cm
Description

Very rarely seen, almost massive pyromorphite with linarite crystals from Lavrion. Originally labeled as azurite, but that doesn't fit the locality. So I'm positive that the blue crystals are linarite.
