Copper

Item Description

A truly elegant copper specimen from 1990s finds at this famous mine, before it stopped producing fine coppers. This was considered one of the most important finds of the 1990s and the Benjamin collection was known for his taste and quality, each piece selected for refinement. This mine has produced some of the finest and most elegant copper crystals. This elongated spinel twin is from the heyday here of the early 2000s and is complete all around. It was formerly in the collection of French air force pilot and well-known collector Francis Benjamin. Joe Budd photos. Valued $2000-plus for unusual robust quality and reticulation compared to most. Comes with a custom base, as well.
