Copper with Malachite and Analcime
Cliff Mine, Pheonix, Keweenaw County
Michigan, United States
6.9 x 5.8 x 5.9 (cabinet)
price: $1250
Early summer 2021
A cluster of Copper crystals of many sizes, most being complex dodecahedrons. Malachite encrusts the Copper making a great color contrast. Scattered small Analcime crystals, a few of which are transparent, add a further contrast. An older specimen, ex. Charles M. Noll collection, this displays well from any angle. Close exam shows the smallest Copper crystals are super sharp, textbook perfect nestled between the medium and large sized crystals that are a little more crude though still distinct. A fine Michigan Copper that is a bit different and is especially showy in person.
