Item Description
A classic, very sharp, pointed, floater, spinel-twinned, copper crystal from recent finds at the famous Chino Mine of New Mexico. Three sides of the spearpoint have very nifty grooves, and the wings have hoppered crystals. The pretty, very bright copper patina is the result of mild cleaning. Excellent, highly representative material for the size and noted locale.
