Kinoite, Ruizite, and Gilalite Crystals from the Christmas Mine, Arizona, USA – 1 unique flat.
This collection flat from the famous Christmas Mine in Arizona presents a rare combination of copper silicate minerals: Numerous specimens show fine crystalline aggregates of deep blue kinoite, reddish-brown ruizite, and vibrant green gilalite. The pieces exhibit a wide variety of textures – from compact microcrystalline zones to clearly crystallized areas, often contrasting with the light-colored host rock. A valuable opportunity for collectors focused on secondary copper minerals or rare silicate associations. The flat has been carefully assembled to reflect the typical mineral paragenesis from this classic U.S. locality.
The Christmas Mine in Gila County, Arizona, is renowned among collectors for its diverse secondary copper mineralization, especially its rare silicates. The Christmas Ore Body and surrounding altered skarn zones produced mineral assemblages that include kinoite, gilalite, ruizite, and other rare species. These formations have become highly sought-after by collectors worldwide.
