Item Description
Fine crystallized copper specimens, such as this, are quite rare from the famous Cobre Mine at Concepcion del Oro. This very aesthetic, arborescent, floater specimen is sharply crystallized on both sides and has many outstanding display possibilities. The dramatic spinel-twinned "branches" are composed of sharp spinel-twins and tetrahexahedral crystals. The striking iridescence and variable patina really add to the excellence of this rare and very showy specimen. Ex Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection # 56. Fairly valued at $500.
