Copper w/ Calcite casts (old - classic locale) Dr. Phillips Coll.

Item Description

Highly sculptural, fascinating and colorful old-time solid native copper from Copper Country. Striking casts or impressions of dissolved away large calcite crystals dominate this remarkable specimen. The overall form, holes through the bottom of the cavernous cast, bright copper patina and accenting green chlorite add much pizzazz to this hefty ore specimen. If you collect casted specimens, this one's for you. 1057 grams or 2.3 pounds mass. Excellent copper from the Dr. Barratt Phillips Collection.
