Chalcanthite is a copper mineral that is soluble in water. This means that it tends to crystallize, dissolve, and recrystallize as crusts over any mine surface in more humid regions. Therefore, chalcanthite is only found in the most arid regions in large quantities.
Chalcanthite, due to its rich color and beautiful crystals, is a sought after collector's mineral. However, the mineral readily absorbs in water. It is critical to store specimens properly to limit exposure to humidity or liquids.

Acheulean Handaxe #Ha-6-a16
$299.00
This Massive handaxe was made and used by a line of early humans called species Homo erectus (ergaster) between 900,000 and 1.2 million years ago. It was surface-collected in Northern Africa from an exposed Acheulean site in the Sahara Desert. This beautiful Lower Paleolithic tool demonstrates the advanced thinking and design possessed by primitive humans. Prior to these ancient Saharan Acheulean handaxes, only very crude flake tools existed in the human fossil record.
As with most Lower Paleolithic tools from North Africa, the countless millennia of wind exposure has formed a fantastic desert varnish or gloss and patina across the surface. The workmanship on this axe is remarkable and illustrates the incredible technical know-how used by these ancient tool makers. The preservation is remarkable as well. This hand axe has NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
