THE MINERAL CLINOCLASE


Clinoclase is a rare secondary copper mineral. It was first known from the Wheal Gorland Mine (now closed), a producer of many fine, rare and world-reknowned secondary minerals. Clinoclase has a beautiful dark blue to dark greenish blue color. Although usually small, its crusts of acicular crystals make for very attractive specimens as they coat all the nooks and crevices of a fractured host rock. A specimen of clinoclase is a pleasure to own by any serious collector of rare minerals.
