Item Description

A striking CABINET example of crystallized copper from one of the most historic and classic mining districts in the United States. The intergrown tetrahexahedral crystals have a gorgeous patina and a distinct biomorphic appearance - a head with ears, thin neck and rounded body with a small tail. The embedded milky quartz is a nice accent. A complete all-around and pristine floater. A fine aesthetic specimen of this well known material.
