Item Description
The size and form of this arborescent copper specimen is outstanding. The dendritic growth of the sharp spinel-twinned crystals along with the patina, gives this specimen a fern-like appearance. For copper collectors and/or collectors of minerals from the Keweenaw peninsula, this one is a must. This is CLASSIC Michigan copper, and for this habit, of flattened crystals. Ex Schlichter Collection. Valued at $950.
