Item Description
Most people are familiar with the Copper pseudomorphs after Aragonite from this locality, but to find non-pseudomorphic native Copper is rather rare. This arborescent "sheet" of partially crystallized Copper is a great display from this historic locality. It has a gorgeous blue-green patina in areas with a few minor Copper crystals. These pieces started to trickle out around October of 2007, and this piece is one of the best samples of this material that I have handled.
