A CLASSIC and EXCELLENT Butte covellite specimen. This wing-like or V-shaped piece is comprised entirely of highly iridescent covellite blades. The colors and iridescence are stunning on this Holy Grail for Butte species. This is an outstanding old-timer, accompanied by an old label, which lists the mine, uncommon in itself. Ex. George Elling Collection.
