- $40 Hezhou, Guangxi, China Miniature - 2.9 x 1.9 x 1.2 cm 6.8 grams Illustrated specimen Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order Form the Mindat specimen description: " This
material from Hezhou is somewhat reminiscent of
the classic specimens from the Mission Mine in Arizona. This
toenail sized specimen features a water-clear, completely
colorless crystal of gypsum (var.selenite) which plays
host to attractive, bright arborescent inclusions of
native copper. The copper is best seen under
magnification, but it's beautiful up close. From the
collection of Shields Flynn." With the exception of Mission Mine material, gypsum
included with copper is globally rare.
