Dimensions: 120x100x40 mm | I'm not sure but I think the covering sulfide on these baryte specimens from Lubin is marcasite, not pyrite. | Thank you for the time you have taken to analyze my post. I had the same doubt too and the reasons I think it's pyrite are: I bought this specimen in SMAM two weeks ago from a polish dealer who was advertising as a new find from Lubin in 2018. I found some information on internet like this : https://www.mindat.org/article.php/2970/Crystal+days+-+Luban+Show+Poland+201
What do you think ? Do you know a way to be sure ? I'm a neophyte so I'll be pleased to receive more information. Dany. | I think you already found the solution to the riddle: It seems to be new find with pyrite instead of marcasite. I didn't know that, but now you know that the information you got on this specimens is right, congratulations to a good specimen of a new find :-) |
Thank you for your answer

I really like that Thunder Bay specimen!
Are you sure that azurite is from Arkansas? I'm not an expert for Arkansas minerals but I've never seen an azurite specimen from there on the market.

Thank you for your message.
I must say I bought online (where the information is not always acurate) when I started my collection. Later I tried to verify the location but I didn't find any information to confirm or invalidate.

By the doubt (honestly, it seems to be from Arizona) I changed the locality to "USA". This is the best way to avoid errors 😁
