Item Description
Red cuprite coatings attractively accent both sides of this sculptural flattened two-sided floater crystallized copper small cabinet from a recent limited 2021 find at this super large Cu-Mo-Au deposit. The artistic sturdy piece has an aesthetic arborescent form. The many branching "limbs" are composed of spinel-twinned crystals. A myriad of tiny sharp tetrahexahedral crystals attached to the spinel-twins adds dramatic quality. The crystals have a beautiful bright patina. Both sides look great on this excellent piece. Copper of this style compares favorably with classics from Michigan, Bisbee, Namibia or Kazakhstan. An outstanding small cabinet example from the find, one of the very best we received in a lot back in 2020, with exceptional crystallization.
