Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Inderite
Dimensions: 55 mm x 8 mm x 4 mm
Locality: U.S. Borax open pit (Boron pit), U.S. Borax Mine (Pacific West Coast Borax; Kramer Mine; Baker Mine), Kramer Borate deposit, Boron, Kern Co., California, USA
A single sharp white transparent terminated interite crystal. Hardly any of these exist any more because they gradually alter to white over the years upon exposure to polluted air in big cities. This one was wrapped up in a little plastic bag and closed up tightly. Got the specimen from Tony Bucon who was one of the miners in the open pit mine just north of Boron. . You could cut gems out of this crystal. It is very clean and transparent. The scale at the bottom of the image is an inch with a rule at one cm.
Deutsch: Inderit
Abmessungen: 55 mm x 8 mm x 4 mm
Fundort: U.S. Borax Tagebau, U.S. Borax Mine, Kramer Borat-Lagerstätte, Boron, Kern County, Kalifornien, USA
Ein einzelner scharfer weißer transparenter Inderitkristall. Diese gibt es kaum noch, weil sie in Großstädten durch die Luftverschmutzung im Laufe der Jahre nach und nach weiß werden. Dieser war in eine kleine Plastiktüte gewickelt und fest verschlossen. Habe das Exemplar von Tony Bucon, der einer der Bergleute im Tagebau nördlich von Boron war. Aus diesem Kristall könnte man Edelsteine schneiden. Es ist sehr sauber und transparent.
Länge des Vergleichsmaßstabs am unteren Bildrand beträgt 1 Zoll (= 2,54 cm) mit einer Einkerbung bei einem Zentimeter.
