Item Description

RARE and very sculptural large 360-degree copper combination material from this famous Namibia mine. Crystallized quartz is rare from the Ogonja Mine. The strikingly arborescent piece with a fantastic "fan" at the top consists of very sharp tetrahexahedral copper crystals with a nice variable patina. Scattered patches of lustrous, translucent, wine-red to cherry-red cuprite plus the numerous embedded quartz crystals and crystal sections are super accessories to this outstanding, artistic and rare large floater combination. Valued at $1250-1500.
