Item Description
An old-time, showy combination specimen from Copper Country. A colorful vug hosts a large amount of bright, hackly silver mixed with copper, calcite and a euhedral datolite crystal. Substantial silver is present, which is unusual in this mix of species - usually its buried within, or big silver on boring matrices. The matrix is a mixture of calcite, datolite and epidote. Classic and very rich silver combination material from this historic locale. Ex Sal Avella Copper Collection. valued $750
