specimen number:
8671008
location:
Quincy mine, Houghton Co., Michigan, USA
description:
A classic Michigan specimen showing translucent semi lustrous scalenohedral crystals of calcite to 1.5 cm in size throughout this matrix with crystallized native copper. The calcite crystals are also included with native copper. Much crystallized quartz present on the backside of the specimen. Micro-chipping is present but very minimal, I think this is in good condition for one of these old specimens.
