Linarite

The electric blue imparted by copper shines out of this beautiful lead copper sulphate mineral. It is quite rare, and occurs in lead copper deposits in which primary minerals such as galena and chalcopyrite have been oxidised by passing waters or contact with air from sulphides into sulphates. It it too soft (Mohs hardness 2.5) for any jewellery use, but its powerful saturated colour makes it popular amongst mineral collectors. It can be confused with azurite, but carbonates react to acids while sulphates don’t.
