Look at the fabulous articulation of the crystals on this old Michigan copper specimen! Their fine form is further emphasized by the presence of contrasting calcite, which serves as a backdrop for the crystals. The specimen shows a beautiful "antique" patina as well. Phoenix mine was active in the late 1800s 5.9 x 3.6 x 3.6 cm
