Item Description

Sharp and coated tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a fine lustrous patina form a sculptural, amoeba-like specimen from the Lavender Pit at Bisbee. One nifty "arm" looks like a seahorse or dragon's head. Such finely crystallized specimens are uncommon from this famed locale and this excellent piece has a nice provenance. Ex Eldon, Jean & Jaye Smith and Cynthia Payne Collections.
