Item Description
Ultra-sharp dodecahedral copper crystals comprise this sculptural and aesthetic arborescent miniature, but the SUPERB, 9 mm, textbook crystal is the obvious highlight! The lustrous patina on this dramatic crystal is a pretty coppery-red, with the rest of the crystals having a brassy-red patina. This is obviously very highgrade older material from the famous mines of Copper Country and is undoubtably the very sharpest copper crystal of any crystal form from the Keweenaw, that we have offered at auction. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection.
