Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of chalcocite from this historic locale!!! This specimen consists of a complex
group of chalcocite crystals in association with sharp, gemmy calcite crystals!!! The chalcocite crystals exhibit
highly complex forms and features with marked luster and sharp detail!!! The calcite crystals have sharp, lustrous features
and translucent to gemmy clarity!!! These historic chalcocite specimens from Bristol date to the mid-1800's and are
quite scarce today!!! This specimen came from prolific Connecticut collector Bruce Jarnot!!! 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 MAY 16th!!!
