Item Description
Extremely sharp and blocky, tetrahexahedral copper crystals form an amazing specimen from Copper Country. It looks just like a robot with an outstretched arm! The piece looks to have been lightly and partially cleaned by the bright patina, but you can still see red cuprite and green malachite on the crystals. You can tell that crystals (probably quartz) have been dissolved away by the very sharp straight edges to some of the copper crystals. Classic and most excellent copper from this historic district.
