TZ97L5: Nice specimen from the type locality of this rare calcium copper borate. Henmilite shows well defined faces and edges with a deep blue color that contrasts with the white Olshanskyite matrix. Actually the access to the Fuka mine is strictly prohibited and controlled.
The specimen is accompanied by the label from the collection of the first specimen’s discoverer, with the handwritten notation of the date on which this specimen was extracted (February 2004). We will send the label to the buyer with this fine Henmilite.
