Item Description
This fantastic looking floater copper specimen has a definite bimorphic look - it looks like a sea serpent or dragon with unusual head with a frill, tall vertical upright tail and most unusual appendages on the back. The piece is very well crystallized with mostly spinel-twin forms having sharp tetrahexahedral crystals at the sides and ends. The interior of the 'body' hosts some nifty dendritic/herringbone shapes. That's quartz embedded in the copper. Choice and aesthetic old-time material from Copper Country and the Art Soregaroli Collection. Valued at $1000-1250.
