Item Description
The world's finest crystallized digenite specimens have undoubtably come from the famous mines at Butte and this is an outstanding example. The 1.0 cm crystal is highly lustrous, striated and has rounded termination and edges, a frequent occurrence at Butte. The crystal is jauntily nested in a matrix of splendent enargite crystals and beautifully accented with a tiny quartz crystal spray. Classic and superb combination material from this noted locale. Ex John White Collection of Seattle and aquired in 1968, according to his label. Valued at $300-400 for quality, large crystal and combination.
