Light Green Frosted Boracite Crystals
Collection
Robert Lavinsky
Description
Lustrous and frosted, light green Boracite crystals to 5 mm totally comprise this entire and very rich specimen. Recovered in 1993 by the mine surveyor, this is a significant, concentrated mass of sharp tetragonal crystals showing the classic form of Boracite from this locale. Interestingly, these large nodules present a mining hazard because their hardness can damage equipment when veins are (were) hit. Ex. Lindsay Greenbank.
