Item Description
Mineral specimens of ANY species are rare from this long extinct open pit copper mine. Absolutely stunning blue color makes the translucent veins and pods of fibrous chalcanthite really stand out in the light weight gossan matrix on this very rare specimen. The note on the back of the label of the 1961 Trimingham acquisition says it all! Price and locality are nailed. A MUST for the Nevada or species collector.
