Summary

Description
English: Chalcocite
Locality: St Ives Consols (incl. Wellesley Mine; Wheal Mary), St Ives, St Ives District, Cornwall, England, UK (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 3.3 x 2.2 x 1.6 cm.
This fine thumbnail specimen features a single, extremely well-formed, robust crystal to almost 2 cm It is perched freestanding off of matrix of massive chalcocite. This piece has textbook crystallography. I haven't seen one this fine, of this habit, save in books from the early 1800s such as Sowerby and Rashleigh. This exquisite miniature is complete all around and nearly pristine....probably because it has been in a box for over 150 years, as part of the collection of Traverso, a major Italian collector of the early 1800s. Ex. G.B. Traverso Collection.

Fundort: St Ives Consols (incl. Wellesley Mine; Wheal Mary), St. Ives, Distrikt St Ives, Cornwall, England, Vereinigtes Königreich (Fundort bei mindat.org)
