Item Description

Here is a very dramatic, impressive, showy display piece featuring sharp, well-formed, impresstive, modified isometric crystals in a beautiful overall arrangement. There are some cavernous areas on the piece, almost as if the Copper formed a "cast" after a preexisting species. The quality, mixed with the great aesthetic appeal of this small cabinet size specimen, would make this a wonderful addition to any collection. These specimens are becoming more and more difficult to find on the market today, and this is a very nice specimen of this most highly sought after material from Michigan. Good crystallized cabinet sized Coppers from this area are amongst the most desirable of all native elements for collectors. Valued at $2000 retail for size, quality, aesthetics, and the fact that it features some good sharp crystals.
