Quartz, Microcline, and Epidote on Amygdaloidal Basalt
Quartz, Microcline, and Epidote on Amygdaloidal Basalt
3rd Level "Silver Forest," Mass C Mine, Ontonagon County, Michigan, USA
34 x 27 x 25 mm
A beautiful mineral combination of milky quartz with a vitreous luster, light orange microcline variety adularia, and granular green epidote. The crystals sit in a little pocket with an amygdaloidal basalt matrix. It is from the historic Mass C mine in Ontonagon, Michigan. I a quired this piece from Karl Schaffer who collected it in the early 70s when he and his friends were granted access to old mine shafts on private property, venturing up to half a mile underground. These shafts are now inaccessible, and very few specimens from this locality exist on the market today.
