Covellite Gem Heart Specimen *RARE*

Covellite is a very rare copper sulfide mineral that crystallizes in the form of masses, hexagonal crystals, or as a secondary coating over other copper minerals. Finding Covellite in crystal form is extremely rare and can sell for thousands of dollars. 

This mineral was discovered by Italian mineralogist Niccolo Covelli, who found this mineral at the base of Mount Vesuvius. Unfortunately, he died before the stone could be officially recorded, however it was named in his honor by F.S Beaudant in 1832. 

The colors of Covellite range from a deep navy blue and black to a dark purple. Both of these colors can be seen with natural iridescence which usually draws immediate attention. Covellite can be found in small amounts all around the world in countries like Italy, Brazil, Austria, Argentina, Peru, China, Australia, and the United States.

These specimens come to us from PERU.
