Item Description

Green reniform conichalcite fills sculptural vugs on all sides of the matrix on this impressive and excellent old-timer from the historic and extinct Tintic District of Utah. Specimens from the Carisa Mine are not that common and fine conichalcites, such as this, are even rarer. Comes with a faded old label, that undoubtedly dates from the active mining period from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Outstanding and rich old-time material.
