‘Yittrium’ Fluorite

Great combination of these two native elements. As seen in the photos, the silver is well crystallized.

It is difficult to get just copper chisel chips anymore. This specimen with both copper and silver is unique. As shown in the photos there is a generous amount of silver. This piece was acquired from the collection of John Perona in August of 2014. I in turn purchased it from Michigan collector, Ed Coleman, last week. It is from the Cliff Mine, Keweenaw County, Michigan.

Two penetrating cubes of Galena, with the largest crystal face being 3.3cm in length, perched on a small bed of matrix. The crystals have great luster. The specimen is from the Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds Co., Missouri.

Large group of arborescent flattish copper crystals from the White Pine Mine, Ontonagon County, Michigan. The specimen is very three dimensional.

I have seldom seen these interesting pseudomorphs. The rosette has a wonderful copper patine on it with isolated showings of green Malachite. There is no damage or any obvious point of attachment. The specimen is from the Chino Mine, Santa Rita, Grant Co., New Mexico.
