Covellite with Sphalerite

Butte, Silver Bow Co., Montana

3.84cm x 3.62cm x 2.34cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic example of sphalerite and covellite from Butte!!! This specimen consists of a showy cluster of finely bladed covellite crystals with a complex greenish brown sphalerite crystal on a matrix of tiny quartz points!!! There are several complete, hexagonal crystals of covellite present in addition to the network of complexly intergrown crystals!!! The covellite crystals have brilliant metallic luster and intense purple-blue-magenta iridescence!!! The matrix hosts numerous small quartz points, however upon close inspection with a loupe or a scope, one can see some scattered, whisker-thin, colorless crystals of unknown identity present among the specimen (possibly selenite?)!!! There are also some tiny unidentified pseudo-octahedral colorless crystals as well!!! Simply gorgeous in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
