Not only do these calcite crystals contain bright copper (a classic Michigan phenomenon), but the copper is actually deposited on an earlier generation of calcite crystals. So what you see are sharp, copper copper-coated PHANTOMS inside the calcites! There are little bruises here and there, but this specimen is more about being interesting than being pristine. This is an OLD specimen! 7.6 x 6.8 x 3.7cm
