Carbonate-cyanotrichite is a rare and beautiful mineral - the name actually comes from the Greek for "blue" and "hair," for obvious reasons, as the blue crystals have this acicular (hair-like) form. Here, the crystals are isolated on a bed of bladed Baryte with fluorite, which forms an unusually pretty setting for them.
