Beschreibung:

Chivor Mine, Chivor Buavio-Guateque Mining District, Boyaca Department, Columbia Euclase was initially found in Chivor during the 1980s as a by-product of emerald mining. The miners paid little attention to the euclase because they lacked knowledge of the material and were focused on the important emerald production at that time. Over the years, they have become more aware of the rarity of the mineral and its appeal to serious mineral collectors. The present specimen consists of a single large crystal of bright blue color measuring nearly 1 inch in length, with typical striations to the faces, and a good termination amidst a sprinkling of pyrite. It is rare to find a euclase in matrix specimen and this particular one is an excellent choice for the collector of rare minerals. Measures 2 ½ x 2 ¾ x 2in (7 x 7 x 6cm)
