S14 Vanadinite: Geronimo Mine, Silver District, Trigo Mts, La Paz Co., Arizona, USA
Really nice hopper growth crystals. These are not attached to matrix; apparently, due to the rapid growth. There are actually two mines at this location, the Pure Potential (formerly the North Geronimo Mine) and the South Geronimo Mine. I do not know which specific mine these come from (they are only appx. 600 m or 1800 ft apart). I got some specimens from Dave Shannon from the Pure Potential Mine in the mid 90s and these look very similar. There is an article on the Pure Potential Mine in Min. Rec. in 1996 vol. 27 p. 363.
TN in box - $5.00, $7.00 or $9.00 each |
