Once in the noted collection of Rukin Jelks, this superb copper in calcite features several parallel growth, lustrous, transparent calcite crystals to 3.5 cm in length, that have grown over and included copper within them. Although the individual crystals are not as large as some I have seen, they are pretty darned large compared to what one NORMALLY sees for sale, and of much better clarity and pizzazz than the usual as well. The rich, pinkish color, and the degree of transparency, is top tier and nearly unequaled by any copper in calcite specimens I have seen for sale elsewhere. It is complete and displayable on all sides, all around. 4.9 x 4.6 x 4.0 cm
