A very choice specimen from this one famous pocket of calcite with included copper, that gives it a wonderful pastel green hue unique to my knowledge. The rough surface looks like sugar, brilliant and sparkly! THIS SPECIMEN IS COMPLETE ALL AROUND, PRISTINE, and regarded as the finest large specimen from the pocket according to many people I have talked to. This is not a true species per se, but rather a varietal of calcite. Nevertheless, it is unusual stuff from a one-time find and the Sussmans seem to own two of what are regarded as the best small cab and cabinet specimens from the find. 17 x 9 x 9 cm
