Item Description
Dramatically scupltural crystallized copper from the Pewabic Lode of Copper Country. Super sharp tetrahexahedrons, to 7 mm, are aesthetically set and clustered on striking curved "arms" of larger subhedral tetrahexahedral crystals. The variable patina on the different sized crystals adds contrast and pizzazz. This superlative and classic old-time specimen is on consignment from a private Michigan collection who gave it to us to auction for quick sale. Fairly valued at $750-1000 based on other specimens of this classic style on the market at shows.
