Item Description
Silver and copper on calcite specimens are very rare from the White Pine Mine. This cutie features beautifully dentrictic spinel-twinned copper crystals fabulously accented by a 1.3 cm, barbed spinel-twinned silver crystal with smaller crystals on two intergrown, glassy calcite rhombs. The silver looks like a barbed spearpoint and the coppers like a shrub or cactus. Highly aesthetic and uncommon combination material. Valued at $400.-500. ex Marilyn Dodge collection
