Native Copper Andacollo, Elqui Province, Coquimbo Region, Chile 2.77cm x 1.07cm x .97cm Ex. Joyce Burchenal Collection Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum No. DM-14814

Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent example of native copper from this rare locality!!! This specimen consists of a highly complex native copper crystal!!! The crystal is a complete floater with no point of attachment whatsoever!!! The crystal is undamaged and pristine!!! This unique specimen exhibits highly complex crystal forms with razor sharp faces and surprisingly bright luster!!! The native copper specimens from this obscure locality were known to have significant gold content and often had curious, unique patinas that were the result of super-thin coatings of native gold!!! Although it is difficult to discern in the pics, upon close inspection this specimen has a unique, brilliant luster and handsome patina!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and retains its original label with Joyce Burchenal Collection notation!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
