Item Description
A UNIQUE, SCULPTURAL, LARGE CABINET copper specimen from the historic mines at Bisbee. This amazing copper specimen looks like a pointed trowel or carpenter"s plane with a handle. Cuprite causes the intense, rust-red color. The bottom of the "trowel" and the underside of the "handle" have striking, arborescent copper growth patterns. This is obviously OLD-TIME material from Bisbee. Ex Mullane Collection.
