Ktenasite on Calcite from Kansas (Ref: DC24-KTEN)
Mid-Continent Mine, Treece, Cherokee Co., Kansas, USA
38mm x 66mm x 30mm
$1100
Here's something we've never seen before, or heard of before: Ktenasite. The tourquoise-blue coating on this calcite crystal is Ktenasite, and the darker material is some shiny chalcopyrite and darker sphalerite. It's a very eye-catching and unusual specimen which is quite old. It comes with a very old Harry Sering label that is probably from the 1970's. The label also is interesting because it mis-identifies some of the minerals here and refers to the blue coating as Melanterite and says there is micro-selenite on the calcite as well, but it's probably all just Ktenasite. Data last checked on 16th Oct 2024 - specimen may no longer be available
