Item Description

An impressive, sharp, large, 3.2 cm, tetrahexahedral copper crystal is jauntily perched atop massive copper matrix. The green epidote is a fine compliment to the buttery copper patina. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and previously in the Joseph Urban Collection of Tuscon, according to Bob's label. MINDAT does not list a Continental Mine for Copper Country. Perhaps the well-known Centennial Mine of Houghton County. Classic and excellent old-time material from Copper Country.
