Item Description
A sculptural and aesthetic arborescent cluster of spinel-twinned copper crystals. The highly unusual gold tint to the copper crystals and the attached quartz matrix really adds pizzazz to this piece. The large flattened spinel-twin on the side is 4.2 cm. I really like the architecture of this very fine, old-time, two-sided piece. Ex Bob Whitmore Collection. Valued at $750.
