Item Description
A very interesting and strangely biomorphic spinel-twinned copper crystal specimen from Copper Country. The nubby, elongated, curled and curved crystals look like an Ent from the "Lord of the Rings". Classic and shapely, old-time material from the Herbert Mette (MTU alumnus who lived from 1896-1976) and the Seaman Museum Collections.
