While I’m feeling sentimental about this day in history, I figured I’d see if I had something from my first dig that I haven’t shared on here yet. This is the only Prehnite specimen I have with me at my cabin, because for some reason I only grabbed a small box of my CT minerals when I moved. I love how soothing and peaceful this mineral looks.. the soft green color, subtle pearlescent shimmering, and its dreamy cloud-like botryoidal formation. By the way, can anyone can recommend a way to safely

💎 Chalcocite – Connecticut, USA – A copper sulphide mineral (Cu₂S) and important ore of copper, chalcocite is known for its dark metallic luster and high copper content (~79.8% Cu). In Connecticut, it occurs in the oxidised and enriched zones of historic copper deposits. Typically dark grey to black, chalcocite crystallises in the monoclinic system, though often found as massive, granular, or compact material rather than well-formed crystals. It has a soft hardness (2½–3), high specific gravity
