An OLD-TIME, sliced slab of a vein of spinel-twinned copper crystals and quartz from the famous Copper Queen Mine at Bisbee. The side with the yellowed label has been lacquered. This piece has to be around 100 years old or more. Such rich copper ore is very rare from Bisbee and this is thus an interesting historic slice of the mine, no pun intended! Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 8.9 x 6.9 x 0.6 cm
