"Copper specimen showing crystallization, with matrix attached. Gold prospectors came to the area in the 1860s but instead of gold found extensive copper deposits. Underground mining of copper started in the 1870s. Native copper is still found in limited quantities in once-active mining regions. These finds are now valuable as minerological specimens and ornamental pieces. Fine specimens only rarely demonstrate crystal faces and these are prized above otherwise similar specimens."
