EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Liroconite specimen, identified as C013 / 6527. Liroconite is a mineral composed of hydrated copper aluminum arsenate hydroxide, known for its striking blue coloration resulting from the oxidation of copper ores. The specimen featured in this image originates from the prestigious Truro Museum in Cornwall. Against a black background, the crystal stands out vibrantly with its vivid blue hue. Its unique geological composition and soft texture make it an intriguing subject for geology enthusiasts and mineralogists alike. This cut-out representation allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details of this vitreous monoclinic mineral. Liroconite is classified as a secondary mineral formed through chemical reactions between alumina, arsenate, and water. Its presence often indicates valuable deposits of copper ore nearby. As such, it holds significant importance not only within the realm of scientific study but also in mining exploration. The Natural History Museum in London proudly presents this stunning photograph captured by their talented team at Science Photo Library. With no commercial use intended or implied, this image serves as a testament to both the aesthetic beauty and scientific value found within our planet's rich geological heritage.
