Gold on Copper (classic locale) ex Jaime Bird Coll.

Item Description

A rare and seldom available specimen from the historic Andacollo Mine of the Coquimbo Region of Chile. The crystals of an aesthetic copper crystal cluster with a "feather" at the top are coated with microscopic bits of bright, rich, mellow-yellow gold. The elongate, main body is a single spinel-twin, as are most of the other larger crystals. Tiny tetrahexahedrdal crystals are dotted on the spinel-twins. Classic, old-time and seldom available material from this famous locale. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! Our last of 3 specimens from this find, in the collection
