Kinoite is a fairly rare mineral. It is found in only a few localities around the world and most good specimens seem to come from the Christmas Mine in Gila County, Arizona. Kinoite is an attractive transparent deep blue. It is often associated and coated with small crystals of Apophyllite (colorless, transparent). Also, Gilalite (translucent green to blue-green), Ruizite (orange to red-brown), and Junitoite (colorless, transparent) are frequently found in/on the matrix.
