Description

The Ajo district in Arizona is classic for it's copper-minerals. Most specimens from this area are smaller than this one. The specimen is well terminated all around showing no significant damages. The very special and for me most attractive part is the association to the matrix. You can see exactly how the copper is connected to the rock. A beautiful eyecatcher!
