Description

Blue zdenekite crystals from the type locality. The mineral is only found in 3 localities worldwide, all of them very famous (Cap Garonne, Broken Hill and Laurion) but those from Cap Garonne are the nicest by far. The contrast of the blue crystals with the white matrix is outstanding.

Ex-Artur Wittern specimen.
