Copper with Cuprite and Calcite

Item Description

A great, classic association stone from Arizona. This rather hefty and colorful "Triangle Cabochon" cut gem is a great representative stone from this famous Copper producing state. When the stone is rotated in the light, the stone shows beautiful hues of red Cuprite, metallic Copper, silvery-grey Calcite. For the $100 starting bid, the stone is priced at just under $2.00 per carat, which is well below wholesale for the material. A very cool stone of this well-known and now difficult to obtain material.
