Item Description

An attractive group of composite octahedral crystals of Native Copper associated with minor Native Silver and micro soft blue Chrysocolla(?). The Copper looks like simple octahedra at first glance, but upon close inspection, you can see that hundreds of tiny sharp crystals actually grew into the form of octahedrons. It's an aesthetic thumbnail and a cool representative specimen of this contemporary classic material.
