Item Description

A very showy, highly desirable copper and calcite specimen from the famous Quincy Mine. Lustrous, translucent and glassy calcite crystals to 1.9 cm are aesthetically set in a bright hackly copper-filled vug with a very rich coppery patina. The calcites are all included with copper. The matrix is massive copper dusted with malachite. Classic, old-time and excellent combination material from this noted mine.
