Item Description

First off, let me preface this by saying that I this is certainly from Tsumeb. Native Coppers from Tsumeb do exist, and this one has similar form to ones I've seen in the past. This is a very aesthetic showy crystal group with distinctly sharp crystals in arborescent form. The piece is virtually undamaged, but too big for a thumbnail. This one is certainly unique, and would make a great addition to a Tsumeb suite, a Copper suite, or collection of aesthetic mineral specimens. Tsumeb specimens are becoming harder to find on the market, and this piece is a great representative specimen of this lesser seen material. Enjoy!
