Calcite-with-Aurichalcite
specimen number:
2631559
location:
Graphic Mine, Magdalena, Socorro Co., New Mexico, USA
description:
Classic old time New Mexico specimen with sparkling colorless translucent pearly luster crystals of calcite colored bluish green by inclusions of aurichalcite over the top of a 9.5 x 6.0 x 3.0 cm matrix. Very minimal micro-cleaving on one edge, still overall I think in very good condition. This came to me label this coming from Bisbee, not atypical, but this is definitely from New Mexico. Shipping weight: 0.48 pounds. Ex Bruce and Dale Wadleigh collection.
Size: 9.5 x 6.0 x 3.0 cm (cabinet)
