Item Description
An aesthetic and pristine, floater rosette of copper pseudomorphs after bladed azurite from the famous Copper Rose Mine of New Mexico. One of the most sought after New Mexico pseudos. Nice patina and SHARP form make this a superb example in any case, worth $750 or so, of this Classic, old-time material. Ex British Museum of Natural History and comes with three labels...so the provenance is a bonus in my mind.
