Item Description
The famous Emke Mine is known primarily for its fine specimens of crystallized copper and superb cuprites; but, it also has turned out a limited number of fine secondary copper mineral specimens. Stacked clusters of lustrous, blocky, primary malachite crystals cover all sides of this sculptural and excellent, upright large miniature. Rare in this quality and essentially pristine. Ex Ed Bancroft Collection. MUCH BETTER IN PESON.
