Found at the Cliff Mine. The shiny areas are native copper. Below, a shot not showing the copper so much.

Did you find it this year That is from last August. I only found enough for about four pendants. When I picked it up at the Cliff Mine, I had no idea it was shot through with so much copper or I would have collected more of it. Something I will be bringing more of home this summer.

Very nice! I haven't seen any native copper in a stone so nice. What is the base stone?
