Item Description

Wow! An impressive large, old-time, flattened crystallized copper "wand" from the Keweenaw. The nubby copper is composed of extremely long, to about 10.3 cm, intergrown spinel-twinned crystals. The sculptural piece is enhanced by the sharper tetrahexahedral crystals at one end and the larger cruder crystals at the other end. Fairly valued at $1500.
