Item Description
Fronds of arborescent, spinel-twinned copper crystals with a nice patina in vein quartz strikingly project outward from the sculptural, large massive cuprite matrix on this dramatic and rich combination copper ore specimen from the famous mines at Bisbee. The form and composition of this piece is certainly impressive. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Probably older material, but no proof. Ex Dennis Mullane Bisbee Collection. 1029 grams or 2.3 pounds.
