Digenite ( Krause Coll.)

Item Description

The world's finest crystallized digenite specimens have undoubtably come from the famous mines at Butte and this is an excellent example from the Larry Krause Collection. The sculptural mininature is an intergrown cluster of sharp, moderately lustrous and lightly iridescent, dark gray, digenite crystals with typical rounded ends and terminations. The crystals have a green tint from a copper oxide coating or scattered bits of malachite. Essentially solid digenite, with only a bit of bornite and chalcopyrite on the back. Classic and highly representative material from this noted locale.
