Item Description
An aesthetic and distinctively different pair of floater, spinel-twinned copper crystals from the Itauz Mine. One crystal is a sharp spearpoint with: a furrowed backbone; blocky, sharp, drill bit sidecar crystal; and a gorgeous cuprite patina. The other crystal is much broader with a missle or fish-like shape and has striking skeletal features. The patina is more coppery with hints of cuprite. A beautiful and choice miniature pair. Double your pleasure.
