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 "sheet" of slightly crystalline Copper is a decent display from this historic locality. It has a good patina overall. These pieces started to trickle out around October of 2007, and this piece is one of the better samples of this material that I have offered in the auction recently.
