Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of native copper from Broken Hill!!! This specimen consists of a large and handsome group of
complex native copper crystals that hosts a rich, red coating of microcrystalline cuprite in addition to
some unidentified species!!! The native
copper crystals show highly complex, sharply defined areas of crystallization and are way better than the
pictures show!!! One can see that the specimen is comprised of organized, dendritic groups of crystals!!!
Upon close examination with a loupe or scope, there are a few tiny cerussite crystals tucked
in recesses around the specimen as well!!! There are some other areas of unidentified mineralization present on the
native copper as well, including some intensely colored blue-green material!!! Way better than the pics show!!! Old 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 MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY APRIL 12th!!!
