Copper ("Spinel Twin")

Item Description

Most people are familiar with the extraordinary Copper specimens that show amazing skeletal forms and dramatic twinning. I consider this to be one of the most significant Copper discoveries in the last 50 years, and they have already proven themselves as modern-day classics. The quality, sharpness and dramatic crystal growth have set these pieces apart from other crystallized Copper specimens around the world. This specimen shows a distinct "Spinel"-Law twin that is accented by very sharp crystals forming an appealling crystal group. The reddish patina on this specimen gives it an antique appearance, and truly stands out among many others that I've seen from this classic locality.
