This would seem to have come out even earlier, and it is frankly a beautiful piece as well. The date and crystal habit\u002Fstyle seems to indicate that the origin of this piece is the same as Greenbank's, Roughton Gill (mined by the Saxons during Elizabethan times long before!), rather than from the later-producing Red Gill Mine which also became known for linarite of a different habit in later years.

Linarite was christened in 1839 by the German mineralogist Ernst Friedrich Glocker, after Linares — the lead-and-silver mining district in Jaén province, Andalusia, that holds its type locality[1].\n\nThe story, though, begins thirty years earlier in Britain. The English naturalist James Sowerby published a coloured plate of the deep-blue crystals in 1809, but he did not yet recognise them as a distinct species — he labelled them *Crystallized Blue Carbonate of Copper*, mistaking them for azurite[2]. The first formal description followed in 1822. The English crystallographer Henry James Brooke worked with Sowerby on specimens from Leadhills, a lead-mining village in southern Scotland. He showed that the blue crystals were a separate species, built around lead as well as copper[3].\n\nGlocker's 1839 naming honoured a different occurrence. He took his specimens from a village just north of the city of Linares, at Guarromán, and fixed the species name to that Spanish locality rather than to the older Scottish one[4].\n\nThe azurite confusion that fooled Sowerby has shadowed linarite ever since. The two minerals share the same intense cobalt-blue colour but differ entirely in chemistry — azurite is a copper carbonate, linarite a lead-bearing sulfate. A drop of dilute hydrochloric acid separates them: azurite fizzes, while linarite instead clouds over with a white film of lead chloride[5].","claude-opus-4-7","1.7.0",{"markdown":689,"model_version":686,"prompt_version":687,"reviewed_at":11},"Linarite has no industrial use. It is too rare and too soft to mine as an ore, and the copper and lead it contains come from far more abundant species. The demand is almost entirely from collectors, who prize linarite for its unusually intense, pure blue colour — a saturated cobalt-blue that few minerals match[1].\\\nThe largest crystals known from the United States — up to about 4 millimetres on edge — come from the Mammoth-Saint Anthony Mine at Tiger, Arizona. Comparable specimens are found at Tsumeb in Namibia and in the British lead districts of Leadhills and the Caldbeck Fells[2].\n\nFor the field geologist, linarite also serves as an indicator. It forms in the secondary, weathered zone of lead-copper ore deposits, where sulfate-rich groundwater reacts with primary sulfides at the surface[3]. A patch of vivid blue on oxidised vein material is a quick visual signal that lead and copper sit together below."]
