Spinel-twinned Copper (excellent - 2006 find)

Item Description

These spinel-twinned copper specimens from the 2006 find at the Chino Mine are some of the finest recovered from anywhere in the last 20 years and this is an outstanding floater example. This is a classic, tapered spearpoint with three distinctive grooves, sharp crystallization and fine form. The skeletal crystals and curved tip add even more pizzazz. The pretty copper patina is the result of mild cleaning. Very fine material for the size and noted locale. The material is not longer on the market. Valued at $800.
