Rich blue Langite over matrix from the Mountain Mine in Ireland. This was part of Tim Sherburn's extensive Ireland collection. Though Tim had a number of Irish Langites in his collection, this was his display Langite, and you can see why. While other Langites in Tim's collection had similar rich blue color, they did not have the surface sparkle of this piece. This specimen was published in Tim's section of the 'Mineral Collections in California' special supplement of the Mineralogical Record (July-August 2017). Ex. Irv Brown collection.
