Item Description
A rich and fine quality big showy display specimen of Brochantite from the Copper Mountain Mining District (Clifton-Morenci Mining District), featuring a coverage of beautiful emerald-green "sprays", lying flat against the host rock matrix. Individual crystals are hard to isolate, but they measure to at least 1 cm long. These specimens are quite rare on the market, and this one might be the best larger piece of Brochantite from Copper Mountain / Morenci that we've ever had to offer.
Ex George Loud Collection No. 30.1.1 AZ.1; 1378 . George (born August 16, 1942) is a well-known mineral collector from Washington, DC and South Carolina respectively, and was a patent lawyer by trade for over 50 years. He assembled one of the great mineral collections in the U.S., comprising worldwide specimens, and in later years he sold the worldwide specimens to focus on minerals of the United States, specifically locality suites with an emphasis on amazing representation of species while still maintaining fine quality. The specimens remarkably range from micros to all the way up to large cabinets in size. We recently acquired most of his impressive 9000+ piece collection, and the VAST majority of these pieces will be offered here in the auctions, as we feel that everyone deserves and equal opportunity at acquiring these important, well-documented and fine quality specimens for their collections.
