Item Description

Sharp, lightly iridescent, chalcocite crystals form an excellent and impressive CABINET specimen from the famous mid-1990s finds at the Flambeau Mine of Wisconsin. The large crystal is 1.4 cm. Most of the crystals on this sculptural piece have moderate magenta and peacock-blue iridescence. Highly representative large material from this famous locale, which is now extinct. We just uncovered a small stash of this material and this is, by far, the largest piece. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! Valued $1000-1250 for size and crystal quality.
