Here is a deposit mined from 1993 to 1997 by Kennecott Copper and now completely reclaimed. It was made famous by the discovery of world class iridescent Chalcocite crystals. This specimen was collected by the University of Utah professor Eric Petersen. Malachite and Azurite specimens are rare since they usually were not collected or saved. Here is an Azurite with small blue crystals with minor Malachite. Copy of original label as shown. |
