Item Description

A rarely seen specimen of the copper iron hydroxy arsenate species, Chenevixite from the famed Majuba Hill Mine in Nevada. This is one of the VERY few pieces of this material that we've ever had to offer, and they are virtually unseen on the market today. This piece hosts strong olive-green colored, micro crystalline Chenevixite with associated Brochantite (according to the label), plus Quartz on matrix. We've photographed the piece with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality.
This piece comes from the collection of John Dagenais (#JD-1753), a collector from the Pacific Northwest. John started collecting in 1969 and progressed to micromounting, and later built suites of specimens from the Chuquicamata Mine in Chile, the Tsumeb Mine in Namibia, the Majuba Hill Mine in Nevada, the Black Pine Mine in Montana and the Tintic District in Utah, among other places.
