The Bristol Copper Mine in Hartford Co., Connecticut is one of the world’s premier Chalcocite localities – and an all-time United States classic. Workings at the mine began in 1837, where it produced high-grade copper ore until 1895 when production ceased. The mine remained dormant for decades, but the copper shortages of WWII inspired the Connecticut Mining and Milling Company to re-open the property to mining operations in 1947. Post-war copper prices falling and a largely unsuccessful venture led to the ultimate closure of the mine in 1953.
