Chalcocite with Quartz
specimen number:
3331656
location:
Redruth, Cornwall, England, UK
description: A wonderful old time classic miniature specimen showing steel gray semi lustrous crystals of chalcocite to 3.0 cm across set nicely on a crystallized quartz matrix. Very slight micro-chipping on the top termination near the back, I still think this a super piece. Previous labels include one from the US National Museum. Shows well all around.
