Item Description

A showy and fine, fan-like cluster of very sharp tetrahexahedral copper crystals from old Broken Hill. Most of the crystals on this two-sided floater have a classic and pretty coating of rust-red cuprite. Comes with a faded, old label. Old-time Broken Hill coppers of this quality are seldom available and are highly desirable. Ex Sal Avella Copper Collection.
