Item Description

An amazingly sculptural copper with cuprite specimen from the famous Ray Mine. This cutie looks just like poodle with a turned head. The ears, long neck, legs, body and tail are very evident. Very sharp spinel-twins and tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a sparkly, cuprite, overcoated patina comprise this very nifty piece. This super piece comes from a recently uncovered stash from the well-known copper mine, as the specimens were collected in 1959!
