Item Description

Sharp, densely intergrown, cuprite-coated copper tetrahexahedrons and spinel-twins form a dramatically sculptural floater two-sided specimen from the 700' Level of the famous Cole Mine at Bisbee. The striking biomorphic piece resembles standing bird of prey with feathered feet, possibly a hawk or owl. The "claws" on the feet are very cool. Choice, classic and aesthetic Bisbee copper.
