Item Description

An impressive, large and sculptural crystallized native copper specimen from Copper Country. The artistic form of the intergrown crudely euhedral tetrahexahedral crystals is most imposing, especially the 6.0 cm, curved "feather" at the top of piece. The bright copper patina and embedded matrix add much character. Undoubtably old material, but no proof. Ex Robert Hauck Copper Collection. hefty at 2.2 pounds or 1.0 kilo. Valued at $1250-1500 for size and quality.
