Mineral Specimen #6315    Copper Crystals with Barite

White Pine Mine, White Pine, Ontnagon Co., Michigan

16.5 x 7.5 x 2.9 cm

$250 / Reserved

Prior to 1995


Elongated, branching Copper crystals with attached Barite. This is an unusual association for which the White Pine is noted. One unusual and interesting aspect of the Barite is that it fluoresces a pink/orange color under SW UV. This is not a strong florescence but unusual for Barite with Copper being the likely exciter. It was not possible to get a good picture of the fluorescence of the Barite.

Condition: Good

Flaws: Most of the Barite is cleaved.
