UPM03 Copper in Calcite
Quincy Mine, Hancock, Houghton Co., Michigan, United States
5.6x 4.2x 5.0 cm
$1300
A very beautiful matrix specimen of copper in calcite, from the Quincy Mine in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. These are probably one of the more iconic items from the region, and because of the relative fragility of the calcit,e something that has become much more uncommon than the copper specimens that continue to be collected of the old mine dumps.
