Sample of Ceruleite from the famous Wheal Gorland.  This sample shows really nice color and habit, with a rounded surface visible inside of pockets within the quartz matrix.  Small crystals of Cassiterite are seen inside of one face, with a fibrous radiating structure composed of an unidentified mineral near by which closely matches Liskeardite visually.  Small acicular crystals of Olivenite are visible near the Ceruleite.  All in all, an interesting sample with a host of different species from this notable location. Old Barstow label.
