Stunning specimen of Native Copper with Native Silver covered crystals!
This eye catching specimen is old material from the heyday of Michigan Copper mining. It's a halfbreed
but one which is a little different in that the Native Silver is actually a coating atop the Copper crystals at
top and along the right edge. The contrast between the metals is excellent and these are pretty rare specimens.

Dramatic cris-crossing clusters of sparkling Calcite crystals on flashy Calcite matrix!
This is one of my favorite Calcites from the show. It's unique, aesthetic, has incredible presentation,
and is large cabinet sized. A true centerpiece! I love the wheat sheaf shaped Calcite clusters which are
actually a collection of crystal fingers that branch out from a single point. One displays its terminations
on the front and the other displays terminations on the back side, creating the cris-cross appearance that
makes this specimen so unique. The Calcites are peachy-golden in color and display incredibly flash and
luster. In excellent condition with only a few minor contacts along the back side out of view. Very impressive!
Locality: Dalnegorsk, Dalnegorsk Urban District, Primorsky Krai, Russia.
Measures: 10.4 cm by 16.5 cm by 11.8 cm in total size.
