Native Copper w/ Malachite (classic locale)

Item Description

A sculptural, colorful and rare style of native copper from famed Broken Hill. The arborescent, two-sided, flattened, floater piece looks like a shrub with green malachite-coated copper "leaves". The piece has overall spinel-twinned form with the crystals being fairly sharp tetrahexahedrons. There is also brecciated matrix in the piece, which adds character. This is certainly a showy and excellent combination style of copper from this renowned deposit. Comes with a Larry Conklin label. Value??
