Copper (unique form!)

Item Description

Active mining in the Zlaté Hory District in the Czech Republic has been taking place since the year 1224! To this day, we still see specimens coming out, sometimes from old adits. A few years ago, some attractive Copper specimens starting coming out from the old abandoned Anna Mine (adit), which were collected by some diggers. We believe that this piece is from the Anna Mine, but cannot say for certain, so we're leaving it at Zlaté Hory. As you can see, this is no ordinary Copper. It is a completely one-of-a-kind specimen featuring hundreds of small, sharp, bright crystals which are intergrown to create a unique formation that some people think resembles a tornado or hurricane, while other see some kind of plant life, or a mushroom or even some kind underwater coral formation. The central portion has a defined "stem" depression in the middle and the Copper crystals are essentially radiating out from that central point. The piece is essentially a "floater", as there is no real defined point of attachment or damage. A very special and singular specimen that would make a superb addition to any worldwide collection or a suite of native elements / native coppers. Priced in the inventory at $1,800.
