Covellite cab ~
Offered here is cabochon of covellite, a rare heavy weight metallic ore of copper from the Leonard mine near Butte, Montana. This awesome, super reflective "blue copper" mineral features the classic deep, rich cobalt blue coloration, with subtle moire-like threads and flecks of shiny metallic pyrite. It also has some hints of the very desireable rosy-fuschia flash, although that phenomenon is only visible at certain angles. In hand, you'll probably be astounded by the cab's hefty weight; it's amazingly heavy for its size. There are a few small natural voids to note, typical of covellite; they're not overly distracting. This one ought to make an outstanding heirloom piece of jewelry, no doubt, or a soon-to-be favorite in your collection of ultra-rarities. It has a well rounded dome of 5mm, an elongated designer 'spear' shape, and a brilliantly gleaming polish both front and back.
