Item Description

An adorable copper and dolomite miniature from Tsumeb and the Shields Flynn Collection. Arborescent elongated clusters of super sharp spinel-twinned copper crystals with a nice patina are attractively scattered on the sculptural crust of sparkly, pearlescent ivory dolomite rhombs. This artistic cutie has multiple display views. Combination specimens of crystal quality are not the common and this is an exceptional example. Previously in the collection of John Schneider, a noted Tsumeb specialist.
