Spinel-twinned Copper with Cuprite coating

Item Description

A striking and sculptural spinel-twinned copper specimen from the famous Itauz Mine of Kazakhstan. The sharp, interconnected spinel-twins resemble a seated alien or cartoon figure with insect legs and a very unusual head or headdress. The entire rust-red piece has a great patina, as it is coated with cuprite. Classic copper crystals with weird form, here.
