Iridescent Chalcocite (classic find)

Item Description

Sharp, lightly iridescent, chalcocite crystals to about 1.7 cm richly cover the vuggy granular layered chalcocite matrix on this showy, highly representative small cabinet from the famous mid-1990s finds at the Flambeau Mine of Wisconsin. The crystals have moderate magenta and peacock-blue iridescence. The locale is now extinct. This is a larger and excellent example of the species and find.
