Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of covellite from Colorado!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of finely bladed covellite
crystals on matrix!!! The juxtaposed crystals have handsome purple-magenta iridescent metallic luster and there
is one group of crystals that are prominently perched on the matrix and almost resemble a rosette!!! This specimen
is quite showy in person!!! Upon close inspection one can see a number of well-formed hexagonal blades that exhibit
characteristic form for the species!!! Classic material!!! This specimen came from the collection of Thomas J. Campbell, Co-author of
the "Encyclopedia of Minerals"!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
