A magnificent, old time example of native copper with cuprite from Bisbee!!! This specimen consists of a large, dense mass of
crystalline native copper with cuprite crystals!!! The native copper is present as complexly crystalline dendritic clusters and
numerous thatchworks of fine, hairlike native copper crystals!!! There are several significant areas of this unique material (possibly
copper pseudomorphs after cuprite var. chalcanthite?) that have both reddish and greenish patinas!!! This is a killer Bisbee old
timer that is WAY better than the pictures show!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains an old
museum label as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
