Item Description
Michigan copper in calcites specimens are certainly one of the most desirable calcite varietals worldwide. This is an outstanding and classic thumbnail specimen. Complete all-around and pristine, very glassy, parallel-growth, well-striated, scalenohedrons are filled with bright copper crystals. The attached matrix of tiny calcite crystals with green epidote is a nifty accent. A SUPERB example of the size, species and historic locale. Valued at $700-900 and well worth it.
