Item Description

A classic cluster of spinel-twinned copper crystals with a nice patina from the famous early 1970s finds at the Ray Mine. The showy piece is highlighted/dominated by two copper spinel-twins with broad "leaves". A plethora of very sharp, tiny tetrahexahedral copper crystals along with a few RARE cubic crystals are a super accent to this excellent floater piece. Ex Jaime Bird Collection and comes with three labels, one from deceased dealer Curt van Scriver with a August, 1974 date.
