Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of chalcocite from Butte!!! This speicmen consists of a choice single crystal of
chalcocite prominently perched on a stalk of matrix!!! The chalcocite crystal is sharp, undamaged, and complete!!! The
crystal exhibits pronounced striations and measures over 1.7cm!!! The matrix hosts some tiny crystals of calcite and upon close
inspection the "stalk" of matrix appears to possibly be comprised of crystalline bornite that have a slightly bluish hue!!!
Upon close inspection of the chalcocite there are some tiny, secondary crystals of chalcocite present as well!!! This specimen is
simply incredible in person!!! The pics don't even come close to capturing just how fine this specimen is!!! This specimen came
from a small suite of choice, competition-worthy specimens and is simply
stunning in person!!!
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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10th!!!
