Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of calcite with native copper inclusions from Michigan!!! This psecimen consists of a complex
single crystal of calcite that is prominently perched on a small amount of matrix and richly included with brilliant
native copper!! The calcite crystal has sharp, lustrous faces and marked clarity!!! The calcite crystal hosts a
very rich showing of bright native copper inclusions thoughout!!! Upon close inspection one can see that there
are some very pale green to whitish crystals of prehnite included within the calcite as well!! There are
also some prehnite crystals on the matrix as well and one can see numerous tiny areas of exposed native copper scattered about, as
well as a small amount of epidote!!! Although the crystal has a small amount of cleavage, it still displays
quite handsomely all around!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 6th!!!
