Halite & Sylvite

Kerr McGee Mine, Carlsbad Potash District, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA

67mm x 53mm x 37mm

*needs video - A fascinating specimen for the collector who enjoys the "How?!" of the mineral world. This specimen perfectly demonstrates the conditions that nearly all of these famous New Mexican blue halites were found in: a solid block of sylvite encases a hidden world of halite crystals set on a sylvinite. The sylvite plays an essential role in the coloration of the halite and this specimen showcases that relationship beautifully. The matrix has been stabilized.
