Copper in Calcite (old classic) Dr. Gary Hansen Coll.

Item Description

Bright native copper is richly included in numerous calcite crystals on this impressive, large and sculptural specimen from Copper Country. The glassy modified scalenohedrons reach 3.0 cm on this imposing 3-dimensional piece. Interestingly, some crystals are only partially included with copper and others have no copper at all. The periphery wear on the back side is noted and can be strongly minimized by the two best display views. Classic and striking old-time material, certainly dating to prior to World War I from the Dr. Gary Hansen Collection. Fairly valued at $2000 for size, richness and quality.
