Item Description
An aesthetic and sculptural spinel-twinned copper specimen from the famous Itauz Mine of Kazakhstan. The very elongated, tapered crystal has nifty appendages at the base. This cutie looks like a flattened war club. The entire rust-red piece has a great patina, as it is coated with cuprite. Classic copper crystals and form, here.
