Copper - well-crystallized
Tongshan Mine, Guichi Dist., Chizhou Pref.
Anhui Province, China
6.8 x 4.8 x 5.3 CM (cabinet)
price: $650
Well-defined, sharp Copper crystals from China are very rare on the market, nearly non-existent. I can not recall seeing better formed crystals than these, most are quite crude or flat habit. These crystals are very well formed, mostly dodecahedral with some modified cubes. The Copper matrix is a spongy mass with a reddish color composed of more tiny copper crystals and masses. A nice copper from anyplace but outstanding from China. We obtained this in China in 2008, sold it then and now have it back again.
