Native buying Copper - Messina Mine, South Africa - 46x37x2mm / 6g

A large flat plate of Native Copper leaf from the iconic ajoite mine in South Africa. It has a wonderful patina with a little surface malachite.

It is from the Messina Mine, Musina, Limpopo, South Africa.

It measures 46x37x2mm and weighs 6g.

Whilst Copper is a common mineral and Messina was a copper mine, nonetheless native copper specimens here are very rarely available for sale. This is mainly because the majority of the copper mined here over the years was extracted in the form of Chalcopyrite, Bornite and Chalcocite. There were only limited amounts of actual native copper found and most tended to be in zones in the centre of the mines and quite deep down. Of these few found their way out to be sold as specimens to collectors before the mine closed down.
