Item Description
Michigan copper in calcite specimen are always highly desirable. A gem-like, multi-faceted, blocky, pretty amber calcite rhomb is included with bright sheet/feathery copper on one end of this beautiful combination. Complete all-around and in excellent condition. Slight bruising is noted to a termination edge. The contacts with attached matrix really have very little bruising. The big blocky crystal has superb clarity, fine color and high luster. This is very fine, old-time, example of the sought-after species and famous locale. Certainly around 100 years old and probably from the Quincy Mine. Valued at $600-800. MUCH,MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
