A showy and excellent old-time specimen from Michigans Copper Country of sharp, euhedral silver crystals perched on well-defined copper crystals in a vein with several lustrous copper-in-calcite crystals to 1.5 cm. The silver and copper crystals look like vertebrae. The quartz-rich matrix adds nice contrast. The piece comes with a 1941 Wards label. The back of the specimen has been partially reinforced with glue, but not repaired. This is a very fine combination piece. Ex Richard Hauck Collection. 5.6 x 4.5 x 4.0 cm
