Copper in Calcite (fine, old classic)

Item Description

A very aesthetic old-time specimen of highly desirable copper in calcite crystals from Copper Country. A 4.5 cm stacked cluster of very glassy calcite crystals is richly included with bright copper and is beautifully crowned by the pristine, 2.3 cm terminated crystal with striated faces. The striking partial copper "skull" at the base of the calcites is a super accent and the calcites and copper are dramatically set on the sulptural matrix wedge of starkly contrasting green Chlorite Group-tinted basalt matrix. This pristine 360-degree copper in calcite and copper specimen displays impressively from every angle. Classic and very fine combination material. valued $1500
