Item Description
A wonderfully eye-catching, aesthetic cabinet display specimen of the famous old Coppers from Houghton, Michigan featuring dozens of excellent quality, distinct, "herringbone"-twinned crystals covering the entire front surface of the piece. The excellent form of the twins combined with the beautiful antique patina of the specimen is genuinely beautiful, and best appreciated up close an in person. If you collect native elements, worldwide Coppers or specifically pieces from the Upper Peninsula in Michigan, do not miss out on this excellent old classic with stellar crystallization. The piece comes with a label from Les and Paula Presmyk (De Natura) that states it is from the collection of Bob Jones, but the header on the label says it's also from the Marcella Watson Collection. Valued between $4,000 and $5,000 in today's market.
