Calcite with Copper

Choice classic from Michigan, a glassy gem scalenohedral calcite crystal hosting inclusions of native copper. Matrix is attached on the back bottom side. A very minimal and tiny micro-cleaving is present on the backside of the termination, compared to most of these, this is in super condition.
