Description
This old copper deposit produced its best chalcocite specimens around the middle of the 1800's. This specimen features several large, striated, matte black, crystals to 2.2 cm in length. For the size, and the price range in particular, this is both Superb and rare! It is complete all around and 3-dimensional: with just very minor damage in the form of a few broken secondary crystals hard to notice. As such, it is a quite sharp miniature for both crystal size and overall displayabillity - these are AT LEAST 100 years old, and few of such quality can be had!

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
