In all the years of mining

A great quality specimen for somebody looking to own a rare and attractive "black" mineral

but good Augelite specimens are few and far between

Copper ("Spinel"-twins and crystals) sulfosalt In all the years ofThis beautiful specimen of Native Copper from the Rocklands Mine hosts a wonderful combination of sharp, euhedral, crystals and elongated "Spinel" twins intergrown to create a display quality piece. Several fine quality, smooth, defined dodecahedral and octahedral crystals of Copper can be seen from all sides. They show both smooth well formed positive faces and skeletal or "hoppered" negative faces, but they are highlighted by elongated "Spinel"
