A rich specimen of classic Michigan copper-in-calcite. This specimen features a large cluster of transparent scalenohedral calcites in which you can clearly see the penny-bright copper. The crystals measure to 1.8 cm in length. There is very minor edge-wear here and there but this IS a showy and large piece for the price. 8.5 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm
