Despite being a copper mine and the deepest mine in Arizona, very few crystallized Native Copper specimens have come from the Magma mine at Superior in Pinal County, partly because as an underground mine the only access was to company employees. This small cabinet-sized crystallized aggregate is one of the largest Native Copper specimens we have seen from the mine and might well been from a discovery in 1980, made by the company Geologist on the 4100 level in an exploratory tunnel called 106 Drift North. The crystals are well-defined but small, but for such a rare locality piece this is very desirable to collectors of Native Copper. Ex Paul Matt.
