Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique, old time example of native copper from Utah!!! This specimen is comprised almost entirely of native silver in association with a small amount of matrix!!! The
native copper is completely crystalline - consisting of a dense group of bright, intergrown copper crystals that has been infiltrated by a second generation of
thin, wire-like dendritic copper crystals that have a distinctly different and darker patina!!! In person, the difference between the two generations of
intergrown copper crystals is quite pronounced!!! This specimen is fascinating upon close inspection!!! A fantastic old time native copper from Utah!!! This
specimen retains an old label from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum as well!!!
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 NOVEMBER 11th!!!
