Copper with Olivenite, Quartz (copper is smelter product)
specimen number:
9506593
location:
China
description:
An attractive and strange specimen, unfortunately I do not believe this to be real. Crystallized native copper across the top of the quartz rich matrix with green olivenite crystals throughout. It is almost certain that the copper was grown on this piece by man. Still quite interesting.
Size: 21.0 x 11.0 x 8.0 cm (large-cabinet)
