Copper with and in Calcite (Ref: 15.1-892)
West Vein, Phoenix Mine, Phoenix, Keweenaw County, Michigan, United States
68mm x 34mm x 20mm
minID: VKE-5XD
Esthetic and not typical at all! Native Copper in leafy tendrils holds and is inside very clear crystals of Calcite. The Calcite is in blocky cube forms with complex growth hills on some faces and colored by the inclusions a bright Copper hue. The Calcites are glassy and the whole composition is very attractive. Some contacts are noted mostly on the backside of the specimen, overall in fine condition. I have not seen another of this style in many years. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
