Mineral Specimen #6024    Copper Crystals

Cheng Men Shan Deposit, Jiurui Mining District, Jiujiang County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, China

8.9 x 6.4 x 6.1 cm

Sold

circa 2005


A solid mass of Copper crystals with a sculpted appearance. The crystals have an odd rounded habit. The color on the largest crystals, at the top of the specimen, is a bright metallic copper color. Within the more recessed areas, the color phases into a dark gray with a slight purple tint which likely indicates the presence of Cuprite. Native copper specimens from China are quite rare with this specimen being on the large side.

Condition: Excellent

Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
