Copper

Locality: New Cornelia Mine (Ajo Mine), Ajo, Little Ajo Mts, Ajo District, Pima Co., Arizona, USA

4.6 x 3.1 x 0.6 cm. This is a superb miniature of Copper from the Ajo mine. The specimen features a pronounced, razor sharp, octahedron jutting out of a crystallized group of flattened "Spinel-Law" twins and octahedral Copper crystals. The overall aesthetics and quality make this a wonderful display specimen from this famous Arizona locality. The specimen comes with the George Godas label stating that it was formerly in the Harvard Collection.
