Item Description

Silvery bright, euhedral to hackly silver forms a show and very sculptural specimen from the historic mines of the Copper Country. You can definitely see that some of the silver was casted around dissolved-away rock (rounded pebbles?), enhancing the form of the piece. Pockets of tiny copper crystals are scattered on both sides along with green epidote. This excellent and classic old-timer looks great from either side.
