Spinel-twinned Copper xls

Item Description

A sculptural and aesthetic trio of floater, spinel-twinned copper crystals from the Itauz Mine. The crystals have decidedly different forms and one has a nice red cuprite coating. The arborescent, flattened crystal has sharp, tetrahexahedral "leaves and a striking curved tip. The other two crystals are sharp flattened spearpoints with distinctive grooved backbones and "wings". The crystals have a nice variable patina. A beautiful and choice miniature trio. Triple your pleasure. Once very common, you don't see many around any more. These pieces are from the 2005-06 finds.
