Item Description
A rarely seen piece of Copper ore in the form of Chalcocite and Chrysocolla on gemmy crystals of nearly colorless Calcite from the famous Chimney Rock Quarry in New Jersey. You don't see many of these pieces on the market anymore, and they are not the first thing that people think of when it comes to minerals from New Jersey. The Chalcocite crystals are sharp and attractive, and the largest crystal measures 7 mm. A good reference piece from this classic New Jersey trap rock locality. Comes with a label from Eric Stanchich of New Jersey.
