Item Description
Connelite is a relatively uncommon hydrated copper sulfate secondary mineral found in copper deposits. The red paper arrow points at a 5 mm wide cluster of lustrous, pretty teal-blue, connelite microcrystals perched on the edge of wine-red, glassy, cuprite microcrystals, massive cuprite and gossan matrix. Old-time, classic and uncommon combination material from the famous Southwest Mine and the Jaime Bird Collection. This is VERY RARE material! valued $200
