Item Description

This is certainly one of the most aesthetic and sculptural crystallized copper specimens, that we have offered at auction. The complex 5 cm "arrow" is fabulously perched above the mounded matrix. The entire piece is comprised of nubby tetrahexahedral and spinel-twiined copper crystals with a variable patina. One side of the base has a distinctive arborescent look to it. Complete all-around and pristine, this is a super floater copper specimen. Ex Rob Smith Collection, a noted Namibian specialist.
