Covellite (classic Colorado locale) - unsually fine xls

Item Description

Summitville, Colorado covellite of this quality is rarer than Butte covellite and is considered by many to be the finest covellite in the world. This extraordinary specimen features intergrown metallic plates of amazingly luminous, golden covellite with nifty contrasting touches of indigo-blue on all sides. The plates look like gold foil in bright light! The lightly jagged edges have very minimal impact to the quality and actually enhance the artistic shape. Solid covellite, this is superb example of the species and famous locale and displays dramatically from both sides without aid. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! Valued $1500.
