Description

A superfine specimen with excellent defined, dark olive coloured crystals of Baryte, partially coated with glistening, multifaced Calcite. The Baryte is also sharp edged and highly lustrous. It is showing a fine colour zoning as well. The Magma Mine was discovered by Charles C. Mason in 1874. Produced 1880 to 1981. Originally called the Silver Queen (1875-1909). Magma Copper Company began operating it in 1910 with minor production until 1911, when ownership passed to the Lake Superior and Arizona Mining Co. In any case a super contrastful specimen.
