Item Description

Most people are familiar with the Copper pseudomorphs after Aragonite from this locality, but to find non-pseudomorphic native Copper is rather rare. This large "sheet" of pseudo-crystalline Copper is a great display from this historic locality. It has a gorgeous patina with spots of very minor reddish Cuprite and a few areas with a bit of green Malachite. These pieces started to trickle out around October of 2007, and this piece is one of the better samples of this material that we've had to offer.
